Oil pan is on. But very likely it will leak. Moroso engineers aren't too bright and put the front corner of the pan dead nuts where there's supposed to be a hole for another bolt. I smeared a little bit of silicone around that hole in the block just in case, but not thick at all. After torquing down the pan, there's no way it's not going to blow oil past it. I'll let the dyno guys fix it when that happens.View attachment 29325View attachment 29326

Have a look at some of steffs pans with the kickouts, they only have 3 or 4 bolts down the whole side.

Am I getting confused by the sumps, or does this model have that hole?

Any model that doesn't have the square welded front should have all the correct holes. Most have 18 - 1/4" holes with 4 - 5/16 holes at the mains.
 
I'll defer to someone smarter than me. Some are for 4 bolt mains, longer stroke, no idea if those have anything to do with it
 
If you sealed it up that spot good with some silicone and you have a good crankcase ventilation system, I think it will be fine. A lot of oil pans don’t use all of the bolts.
 
It would be interesting if you asked Moroso about drilling the hole.

That has the holes, yes, but it is front sump. Foxbody needs dual sump to clear cross member & rack and pinion. Which is a rear sump and rear pickup, front sump is just for the oil pump
 
On another note, these guys put a 450, 750, 950, 1050 dominator on a pieced together junk 305 engine.

The dominator is the secret sauce

Start at about 630
