The guys at S&P caution the use of the truck pan on a lowered truck. That oil pan is 9" deep and can be hit if the truck sits to low. Apparently they have had this experience. I want to be able to drive without fear of punching a hole in mine, so I am trying to use the 'F' body pan.

68 Short Step: Does the ECE motor mounts give you a lot of room in front of the oil pan? Did you have to use the truck pan to get clearance between it and the crossmember. Would they work with the Camaro pan?

Yours looks good, with the install, do you have any more side shots of the motor mounts?

looks as if the headers work real well. I am still considering those for my install. I have your build pics on file, so far.

Would you be open for a visit from a Kansas neighbor? I would like to see this truck.
