Anyone buying a 8qrt pan isnt trying hard to be very stock or unmodified. That's point of buying/needing that pan, you're beyond stock. You have to lop off the pass dude front corner and weld a flat pc. over it about 3 1/2 point to point to point triangle...then the drivers side where the sump is seamed...you have to, or should, cut a line where it pops out a hair...and then pop it in some with a mallet...and then weld that seam up... okay... now you are about ready, right after you..notch or drill a 3/4 hole or half moon from the pass side front sump baffle so that dip stick will go in straight and give you an accurate reading.
If the name is on a banner hanging on the wall of any race track... you're not in Kansas anymore...
