im refering to the pic that nookie2692000 posted showing the double sump, i would probably make a new sway bar in the front.
Thanks, Andy
p.s. keep this thread going. need more info and pics
no.. my oil pan if from a truck. it was modded in the back to fit crossmember. i dont know how much right engine will fit with 2 sump oil pan.
i dont hammer firewall and engine sits very well.
another thing is im running a oem sway bar with a little of mod.
the black line show how i cut the sway bar... after cut in this 2 spots i take some measurements and resolder in the new position. my original problem with this was because sway bar was hitting the carter wall then driving... i remember the clearance was about .5 centimeters... i never can put my finger between sway bar and carter. the other problem is if u have clearance between swaybar and damper. i had to much clearance between this 2, so i made the cut and paste. if u dont have too much clearance this dont work to you.
and u will have this....
look at oilpan clearance !!!
