been meaning to ask this...after changing my oil today(I remembered)
back when I 1st put this mustang 5.0 in the EB, I recall ppl saying to use the EB oil pan, well I did...problem is, the stock roller block dip stick wont hardly read anything on the stick! I was running both stock EB in pan and stock 5.0 in block. but the pan stick seem to leak, so I plugged it. I can fill pan with 5qta and just barely even touches stick. what gives???
from what i can tell, the dip stick tube is seated properly into the block and the bracket bolt to a header bolt.
what are yall using?? stock eb,stock 5.0, eb pan,mustang pan,etc

for the stock pans, the ones that have the threaded dip stick tube in the side of the pan seems to work best. I have one that has the 'press' fit, or slip in, style dip stick. It leaks around there some, even though I did put some blue goo on the tube before installing it.
the problem with mine is that the dip stick I ended up using is aftermarket. I couldn't find the original. The one I have now is way too long and the oil goes halfway up the dipstick... Oh well. I just throw 5 qts in it at oil changes.

Oh, and to use that kind of pan, you'd need to plug your existing hole in the block. I used a 1/8 (IIRC) pipe thread tap and a threaded plug to do it.
