Help, I'm installing a 351 W into a 92 GT, got a bunch of parts with the car, one of them included a timing chain cover with neither a dipstick hole or oil pressure sending unit hole. I have an extra oil pressure sender and elbow to screw into the timing cover. Anyone see this before? Don't care about the missing oil dipstick hole, went with the motorsport pan where it is relocated. I don't want to shell out any more money on this project. I guess I'm going to have to drill a hole by the fuel pump boss and tap a hole in the cover.

There's more!

Also went with a melling high volume oil pump during the project, but it doesn't clear the motorsport 351w oil pan conversion. Had to bring to a weld shop to have the oil pan modified-the engineers at ford svo should do their homework, as anyone installing this pan is going to put a hv pump in during the swap!!! Also dealing with a two piece rear main oil seal, what a joke, had to remove all the crank bearing caps to replace-very time consuming. This car better move after...

The oil pressure sending unit doesn't screw into the timing cover on Windsor blocks, since there is no pressurized oil in there. It goes into the pipe hole that's kinda above the oil filter.

Feel like an idiot, the fuel pressure hole is above the filter, not in the timing cover like I thought... OOps, please forgive me for stupid question.

Not fuel pressure port, the oil pressure port
