Group 58 - 10-1/16" x 7-3/16" x 6-15/16"
Group 65 - 12-1/16" x 7-1/2" x 7-9/16"

 

Looks like the 59 is closer.

 

AZ has the Fox Body's listed as 58's. I've been using 65's for years. Fits right in the battery tray just fine.

 

Hmmm you think the person last in this oil pan thought it was weird that the pick up tube had a hole that sits directly above a bolt and the bolt wasnt bolting it down?

 

I see an FE block

Make sure you use silicone where the cover and block joint at the lip, because FE's like to leak there.

 

The pickup sets a little lower in the pan that way so it can suck up more gunk and get it to the filter. It can also move around, staying with the the oil as it sloshes when going around corners.

 

I think you should have a studded main bolt right there.

 

Good morning thinkers!- hope you all have great weekend!- be safe at the salt mine- im on vacation next week, so the Mrs. will, no doubt, have a pre Christmas hunny-do list ready for me!
Peace to all, thinkers! Ill catch up when i can!!
