Tincup's 63 Dart w/5.7 Hemi

Hey Tin, if the pan is scratched, dented, bent, tweaked in any way shape fashion or form, why not just get some tubing and mark the pan where it hits, cut that section off(out) and weld in the tubing. Cut the tubing in half so you have the room you need.This would give you the clearence you need and an opportunity to paint the pan the color of your choice. Just some food for thought since you now know where the pan is screwing you up.

You must be a mind reader, that is what I had planned to do. Because it just barely touches the rack, but that is without gaskets. However, I got lucky, I pulled the motor last night, and there was nothing but a little scuff where it hit the rack, so it's going back today, and I will order a charlies. BTW, I read through the Alterkation instalation instructions yesterday, and could not find anything about the oil pans, where did you see that?
