    Looks great! :thumbs2:

    Have you test fitted for that oil pan? It might be a little close to the LCA mounts. :huh:

    My pan is similar. Engine would not drop straight down. Had to remove motor mounts from the block, drop the engine down in front of the LCA mounts and then push it straight back into position. Then I raised the engine up as much as I could to install the motor mounts.

    Your pan may be a bit narrower than mine is. If not thats how you can make it work. Heres what my pan looks like.

    Good Luck.

    I have this same pan...a little tricky getting it to drop in but I got it. Would almost have been easier to take the pan off and put it back on after you drop it in.

    Engine is a beauty!!! Can't wait to get my block back from the machine shop. Only difference is mine will have the heads painted blue, (I am using the old TFS High Port iron heads) and the Performer RPM air gap!
