Test fit did not go as well as hoped. Super tight fit. I am going to need to pull my hydroboost and steering column and then reinstall.Image

Custom oil pan from Stella arrived tonight. I cannot wait to test fit it. It looks like it will clear the axle and drive shaft at full compression.Image

7.5 . I figured it was worth changing oil more frequently than putting a hole in my plastic oil pan.

Thanks guys. It is amazing how tight everything fits - after some massaging.
