Do oil pan and pick up matter? I don't see a cross member that would cause an issue.


Is it deeper, preference?

Bought most of my parts from Hughes. Machine shop sourced the pistons and rings because he can get them for less.

Had it bored 030, valves ground, and heads milled 015, polished crank, new cam bearings, and cleaned up . Flat tops, 906 heads, Hughes CAM 228/232.

Still need intake, ignition, and fuel system. Thinking sniper efi, with Holley ignition. Haven't decided on intake yet.

Center sump and straight axle = dented pan
I sold all of my sweptline trucks,except the invisible one. I just couldn't stand to see it go!
