I’ve never thought of Chevy orange. Kinda of a oxymoron but I kinda like it too.

As for the oil pan, I measured the volume I took out by filling the cut off piece with water. I’ll be loosing 1.5 litres. But I will have the pick up tube half inch closer to the bottom of the pan than stock sooooo, I’m guessing I’ll only be out about .5 litres/quarts for you Americans when it’s all said and done. So I’m sure I’ll be able to “over fill” the capacity buy half a litre and not notice any difference. This isn’t a high performance build so sucking the pan dry “shouldn’t” be a problem.
