When I built the larger sump for mine I didn't worry about the 'layback' toward the bottom front of the standard sump, I just went straight down (as can be seen in attached pic). Simpler and I get a bit more volume. When I installed the engine it all cleared no problem....until I bounced on the front end! Oh, thats what that layback is for! As you can imagine this was a major bummer after slipping in a fresh drivetrain. Luckily I came up with a simple solution. Shortening the link connectors places the sway bar at a different angle and everything clears. It also had the effect of stiffening it up.
