Just wondering if anyone knows off the top of their head wether or not a FWD oil pan such as the windstar or taurus will bolt onto the SC block. I'm interested in them because they're stamped steel instead of cast aluminum like the RWD 3.8's. I'm going to need to modify my oil pan to clear the 4-bolt main caps and the 1/2" main cap girdle that connects all 4 mains together. steel is easier to cut and weld than the brittle cast aluminum, not saying its impossible but its easier and stronger imo.

I know the 82-88 tbird 3.8's had stamped steel oil pans too, but they are going for 60 bucks used on ebay. the FWD pans are 30 new by Dorman. both look to have the same style sump.
