I've ordered a BluePrint Engine 408 (351W stroker) and was wondering if the supplied front sump pickup/pan arrangement will work in the Gen 3 coupe, or if I need to get a different configuration pan (rear sump).
If anyone can list PN's of what they have used, that would be great. I've read in a prior post to keep the pan depth to 7.5" or less. Is that still correct for the Gen 3 coupe frame?
Thanks!

If you told them its going in a Coupe they will configure it for the Coupe. They are good like that.

The 408 isn't "technically" what they sell for the coupe. I have sent an email and asked if they could put the same oil pan on that is delivered with the FFR 427 engine option (since they are both 351W based blocks).

Blueprint couldn't switch out the oil pan to what they sell on the 427 FF engine, so I went with a Kevko Rear Sump Sportsman pan (PN: FF502), with the matching 351 Road Race Pickup (PN: F202-1RR) and universal dipstick (PN: K128)
