    Hey Tech; I'm curious what if you got a front sump pan and because the motor is tilted back the oil is going to the back instead of the front. Thanks Kurt

    I don't know Kurt, I've wondered about that myself. I guess the sump is deep enough to keep oil around the pickup. The rear tilt is only about 3 degrees anyway and so whatever oil might slosh back there would run back to the front and down into the sump again. I'm just speculating here. It must work ok, because Ford has done it forever. I think I remember a baffle also at the top of the sump to prevent oil going to the back.

    At this point, one of the Chevy guys is gonna say something like, hey, they're not fast enough to slosh oil to the back anyway.
