Rear sump 390 and rocker shaft spring question

Post by rabbithunter2005 »

I just did a 390 rebuild and i am putting it in an 85 f250. I am in desperate need of a rear sump oil pan but i cant seem to find one in my area. I always order parts for it using the 74 f100 with a 360 4wd. I know for a fact that truck came with a rear sump oil pan because i junked one about 6 months ago (kickin myself in the ass for that one). All the parts stores around here list it as a front sump. Ebay has all front sumps. Except for the occasional ft pan. Where can i find a brand new rear sump oil pan and pickup also where can i find a main bolt that has the stud on top for the pickup to bolt to. Can anyone even give me a part number? Second question is about the shaft mount rocker system. I bought new shafts and 427 adjustable rockers. The problem is the spacer springs. Most of my old ones are broken in like 3 pieces. No one seems to be able to order these either. Does anyone know where i could get them or should i switch to spacers and shims. Please help.

I'm sorry it must have been Summit. I've seen it in one of those..
