223 Question

Does anybody know the oil pan difference on a 223? I have a 64 F100 with a 223. Needed to change oil pans. Got another one. When I lifted it up to put it on the oil pickup hit with about an inch to go. Set the 2 next to each other and the old one was a bit deeper. Hard to see but it was. Does anybody know which years are deeper?

Did your "new" 223 oil pan come off of a car instead of a truck?

I don't know, but I bet it did. Has a 3/4 inch hole (large) and not the 1/4 inch on my old one.

You have to look close, but there is a slight difference in the 2 I have. I bet it is truck vs car. Or the 223 from the 60's (only truck) vs 50s.

almost flat pan, rear sump

hard to see the pan on this, but front is lower, drain on passenger side
looks like upside down camel hump, also i have one loose like this i can measure and take a pic of if you need.

i think the pan holes are actually symmetrical and can go either way. The deep end is in the back on the car (and shallower) and on a truck the deep end is to the front and the pan is actually a bit deeper itself. I love the 50s and 60s!!
