You could lower the rack, how much room do you think you need? Might help your bump steer. Combination of a lowered rack and modified pan perhaps?

edit...looks like its sitting on the lower arm mount though

I need about 4". I can't lower the rack and the pan can't be modified due to the oil pump.

I spoke to one of the manufacturers that builds these this morning and it's a no go on changing it to rear steer....

Maybe not even a true dry sump but just a crank driven oil pump. I think Rob from No Limit did this on his original slant cab F100 pro touring truck so he could lower the engine further.

I've got nothing to say about the pan/rack issue but that induction and the cowl vents are pretty dang neat!

Good luck with it

I did the same thing when I installed a heidt's mustang II in my 65. I ended up installing a Peterson wet/vac sump pump on the motor. Ended up cutting the front sump of the pan off and welding in a flat piece on metal.

That looks promising, I'll look into it... a dry sump pan will get me 3" lower. Thank you!

The kicker here... I sold a Roush Yates dry sump engine that I was going to put into this car....
