Rear wheel drive pans used a front sump pan and pickup. The Eldorado used a rear sump setup. Later 425's and 368's used a mid-sump style. The latter two pans are what you would typically use for most engine swaps. | Rear wheel drive pans used a front sump pan and pickup. The Eldorado used a rear sump setup.

| + | one nice thing about the cad pumps is that u can use a q-jet jet to shim the stock pump spring to boost oil pressure. 10-12 psi per 1000 rpm is good. make sure after u do this u run an electric drill onto the oil pump shaft to prime the engine. try and use the front sump oil pan design to eliminate the longer pickup. this will help keep the engine primed as well as a thick motor oil. if only a new pump design would be made for these engines. but as always the suffering to build a cad right goes on............. | ||
