Hi guys!
Heard about this forum from Vintage Mustangs and figured I’d post here. Long story short, I’m changing the oil pan on my 200 in a ‘67 mustang. I dropped sway bar, and I’ve been told I can do it without removing cross member but it will not come out. Not sure what else I can do? Previous owner smashed the rear of the pan and I believe it has created a significant issue I’m sure I’m about to find out when I get the pan off.
I’m also struggling with carb. He installed an Asian Mfg. Autolite 1100 with manual choke and it just runs like crap (before I told him not to start it anymore). He has some other distributor on it and I’m not sure about timing yet…I’ll cross that road if/when I get my new pan on and it doesn’t knock when it starts lol.
I’ll include some pics for y’all. It idles very high, when you put in gear it runs so rough it’s just incredible lol. Give it gas trying to unload off trailer it didn’t have the power to go over the hump on trailer. I don’t even know where to start besides oil pan then work up. I’m HOPING the mains aren’t fried or more. He jacked up car under rear of oil pan and he said the crank hit it. He tried to pull it out but didn’t get far. When I looked underneath it doesn’t look too bad but when you start it it’ll knock idk if it’s hitting or what…and it makes a tapping sound when reving. I got a new pan in yesterday from NPD with gaskets and hoping to install tomorrow if I can get it out. I’ll take pics of the mains etc when I can to post.
So I’m also looking for a good rebuilt or good running 200 to replace it just in case! I don’t have the experience to rebuild or really the funds but perhaps I can offload some other stuff to get another engine.
Anyways here’s the pics (yes he put a stick in carb linkage lol and don’t mind yellow circle I was showing heater hole):
