I have a 77 ford van 351 W engine. I want to find an oil pan that drops in the back so I can install it in a 48 ford pickup

See your local speed shop.There are pan compamies out there that do just this sort of thing..Like high energy pans...

You could also try sterling for performance in Brisbane if you think a stock pan will do it.

He has a large selection of OEM pans including sumps. You will also need a different oil pump pick up to get this to work.

I can not find Sterling on the internet. I did find out the closest thing is an econoline ford late 70s drops farther back but I have contacted several performance companies and no one has such a thing. Seems like other car companies dont want Fords to out run them
HAHA

Talk to a good fabricator or welder and he'll buzz one up real quick, just by adding parts to original sump, even fitting sump pan front or rear....
