Oil Drain over Frame Cross-member

My trucks oil drain (car motor transplant) dumps onto the frame cross-member (79 F150 2WD). Does anybody have a good solution for this? It makes the oil change a challenge at best. [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_bicker.gif[/img]

I've had this problem a LOT. Make sure your current drain is seales well. Get an old lug nut & a new drain plug, both 1/2"X 20. Drill a 1/2" hole in the front of the pan & either weld or braze the nut over the hole...

Good idea...I've got two of those pans laying on the shop floor right now due to my attempts to find a motor from one of the 'stangs to rebuild for the truck. I'll modify one of those. [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_bow.gif[/img]

Have you ever used one of those quick drain connectors? I'm dubious about hanging anything off the oil pan containing my motor's life-blood, but it seems like a good idea in theory.

Never used one, that doesn't mean it's not a good idea. I did plumb in a quick disconnect to the wifes 460 '66 F-100 but it looked stupid & was promptly removed.
