Hi Zenish
Thanks for the reply, have you ever seen one of these rear panned sumps, I was just interesteed to know how much depth there is at the front, I appreciate the oil pump is still there but unlike most stock cars over here the chevy truck has a lot of clearance under the hood to raise the engine up a bit.
I did originally have plans to stick it into a ford P100 pick-up but the hood line of modern cars was too low, we also have far too many people at the Department of Transport who take a dim view of engines poking through hoods, some accept it others don`t, any way I`ll keep on until I run out of money/patience/luck, thanks for the reply, don`t be stranger and remember anybody can restore a historic vehicle, it takes a man to cut one up and rod it
Thanks
