Well i mas well speak me piece, i have to say FJ had good points and he should know, he has build enough of these cars. in my case i also have about 1/8 of a inch between pan and subframe, oil pan is 4" past the flywheel, draglink is about 3/16 under the oil pan, headers are right there also, Ken i will not be at the open, but i will be at Div. please you and Bob come by my trailer, i will put it on the lift for ya's and i have my spare in the trailer also you can look at, i have a idea what it would cost, ya mas well let us use a dry sump system, i seen the 2 rods come out of a ford a few years ago and not one drop of oil on the track, i have even been looking at putting a pan under the car, but all i can see is alum. going everywhere when it come down front a uncontrolled wheel stand, i know too many cars with these big pans that will be a problem, another question how ya going to drain the oil between rds, to pick it up, just look at Charlotte Stock and Super Stock final's both heads up, i have spend last year 1600.00 on a chiller, just to be faster cooling and also keeping any water for getting on the track, aka for ice cubes, just spend $750.00 on a Chute, when is this stuff all going to stop, i think i was crazy buying another Stocker last week. Guys and Gals i hope all these inputs help solve this problems
