hey Pro, how about a shortened pan and pickup, then weld some kickouts on the bottom to maintain the oil capacity? A dry sump does a great job of oiling on a dirt burner, but is probably overkill on a street machine. I have built some of the wider pans for my stuff, for sure the Ranchero is gonna need one. I will also be using a remote dual filter and oil cooler, they do an excellent job lowering oil temp on cruise nights. After the initial run in and a break in, I put all my motors on synthetic oil, current choice being Valvoline.
