    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.
    Yea, this guy I got the info. from about the 7 3/4" deep pan says his have the advantages of a dry sump w/o the weight. His has the kich off the side to catch the oil and somewhat keep it away from the rotating assemb. I'm thinkin' I problee otta' follow Streets advise and check w/ the DOT to see what kind of visual obstructions I can get by wit'. Then I'll set up the "train" to see how Loooow I can go?

    Ya Bob, That tranny thing is another point to consider. Better not get the cart before the horse. Or the engine before the chassis. Got a Jerry Bickle chassis guide here. I know with toooo much info I may become dangerous. But he shows pro stocks with the engine lower than the rear and drive train angles up to the rear end. I'm sure when I do the dry run with the parts it'll all become clear to me
