I need to make some clearance room for the steering rack under the oil pan, I guess I have two choices 1) Pick the engine up or 2) Take a little bit off the oil pan. I would rather keep the engine in the car as low as possible but I'm pretty sure its not going to fit under the stock hood so it wouldn't be a deal breaker if I had to pick it up.
I have a few questions.... Approximately how much does a 4.25" stroke crank hang below the oil pan rail, and do you have any idea how much I can take off the rear of the oil pan? I'm running a Canton 15-820.
I realize this is all very subjective, but I'm curious if there is a fair amount of fudge room or if it's close already.
Thanks,
Chris
