It was mock up, I really wanted the pan tucked in more, but I was out of time, this picture is three weeks before Roadkill Nights 2019, so I was still working on getting the engine ready to put in and wanted to see how low the pan would set. Eventually I’ll build a custom pan that still has the 8 quart capacity that is above the k member.
But right now I’m working on the front brakes, doing a bearing repacking and swapping out the socket head cap screws for some ARP 3-1/2” wheel studs and new lug nuts before my race in January at Roadkill Zip Tie Drags.
