mounting it into my mock-up truck, the 1st problem I ran into was mounting it into the frame, the front of the stock truck style pan hits the cross member, plan A was to notch the cross member to clear the pan, but the stock steering would of been close (if not already touching), so plan B was to modify the stock oil pan, but the oil pick-up tube is pretty much casted into the pan itself.. so we went with a holley oil pan, and it has tons of room.. after the engine would 'fit', I scooted it back towards the firewall, so the headers, and everything else looked to be in a happy spot...
