The 1977 F150 oil pan looks more likely to fit than the 1990 version.

Is this a stock pan ?

It looks a lot like one. If you have it in your possession I'd say look at the bottom of the sump and see if you can confirm the part number.

If you swap your steering rack to a fox steering rack (aluminium housing and sport ratio) you will have enough clearance from my experience with a "normal" 302 front sump pan. If it's still to close you can shim the engine mount just slightly.
Why do i know, i put a 5.0 HO in my car when it had the original steering and build own engine mounts. afterwarts i swaped to the fox steering and now i have a lot of space...

Thanks for the advice. I am using stock v8 motor mounts if it makes any difference. What do I need to get for the fox swap ?

You need offset bushing like this ones:

High Impact Mustang II Offset Steering Rack Bushing Set Component Bolt-On Style

HEXB3: High Impact Mustang II Offset Steering Rack Bushing Set under part number HEXB3. High Impact Mustang II Offset Steering Rack Bushing SetOur steering ra

www.johnnylawmotors.com

Beside that you need a steering rack. Should be one piece aluminium housing and a 2.5 turn lock to lock; on my quick search I just found this with 3 turns...

More Information for TERREPOWER N1010107

Beside that you should be able to use your old pump or buy a aftermarket one.

Because I build my own steering hoses with AN-fittings and fitted an european power steering pump, I can't give full advice about steering hoses.

But there also complete kits out there like this one:

In my build threat there should be pics about the steering rack etc.
