Man guy, I am just catching up as I had to do the nightly run with the Mal. I don’t run her at night for a bit she will create chaos in the house. Your wife must be a Saint. Tell her we think she should wear a cape and a big S or at least a magic lasso. Glad she stayed calm and got stuff done. Most folks just panic and run. She’s a keeper. We will burn sage for your family and the neighbor. Just heart breaking.
IDK Normally they are center sump in an A-body.
I only recall seeing pass through holes for the center link on Small blocks that wanted to run a deep pan. Generally a drag racing only type setup.
Thanks Ted, I needed that.
i didnt graduate to that skill level till I turned 13. I was a slow starter
It's 440 in a duster drag race only. Thanks Mattax
There's some oil pan design recommendations in the Direct Connection bulletins/books. Maybe old but would be a good baseline on concepts that work.
im not following some of these posts. night all.
This is the pan that was on the dart. It is a pass through. I am not going with pass through on the new one

Man you been one serious Rye kick as of late? I am stuck in a Bourbon rut. I looked longingly at the scotch row but stuck with Bourbon again. I think I am going to go tequila for my next version.
Yes starting on it next week should be interesting trying to save as much of the original truck as I can but not much other than the running gear that's good. Not restoring it just getting it drivable.
The underneath side of the intake. It rocks back and forth, looks like the center most fin contacts the bottom of the intake
Prayers and you’re good people
@fatoldguy Interesting it shows in '69 Tips for big blocks
When I get home this weekend I can check the books for later bulltins but certainly was done as MaxCustody shows.
Obviously I havent paid as much attention to the B RB stuff when hunting LA info..

I agree this is a good group of people here. I am off to bed. I have barely been sleeping and it is catching up to me. Goodnight all.
You fit right in good to have you here BB sleep good.
I wonder how much would need to be ground? It looks like it's held off a good bit.
It’s about 1/8 inch when balanced but in this shot , it’s off balance. Kind of teeter tottering on that fin
Gotchya. Can you measure how thick the valley cover is to the top of one of the fins? Last thing you want is to grind through it.
Im thinking of putting the thin valley cover on and then using a bit of play dough and bolting it down to see how much clearance there is with that one and then deciding from there.
While new, that plate is 200 bucks, I paid 40 for it at the Nats, so it’s not gonna make me cry to grind on it
The overall thickness is probably 3/8-7/16. I’ll measure tomorrow

Probably not. But we won't let anything bad happen. He's family to us.
