question for vrtgrumpy
when doing a awd to 2wd convertion.what do you do about the oil sucker being about 3.5 inches forward? was kinda concerned about chopping the oil pans baffle.and also that the new oil sucker not being over a smooth surface in the oilpan. it's a rb20. i know you do alot of rb26 swaps so i figured yo uor mac would know.any help would be great.......
First, why do you need to change the oil pichup on the RB20????
On a RB26 conversion you need to modify the pickup to go back about 3 inches. And you will use a modified RB25 oil pan. The pan needs to be modified inside and on the side where the pickup is.
The baffles are inplace to prevent the oil from moving out of range for the oil pickup, so you do have to be careful when cutting these. If you cut away too much you could cause the oil pickup to starve at times. NOT GOOD FOR THE MOTOR.
Hope this helps............
