71 dart

I thought the motor looked high.

That's killing you. The bottom of a stock pan should be level with the bottom of the frame. Are you saying it's 2" above the bottom of the frame?

Can you run an external pump or something remote?

I would love to but I cannot find anything that will work how I need. I would love to run a dry sump but the cannot spend the money right now. I am open to any suggestions. If something can be done I can move the motor back 4" and down 1.5".
