Then how much ground clearance with a 'deep racing pan' on it? Drag race pans are wrong for Cobras. And 11 qt oil changes are insane. You don't have an endurance race car which would be dry sump anyway.

Look I know you have bigger issues to resolve with Roush but you've been sold a lot of BS about needing stuff like this.

When you get it back, have sombody put the Canton RR pan (or Aviad, Armando) on it with 8 quarts for the whole system and it will work and fit perfectly. Change the pick up to match the pan.

Barry or Keith could have built two 600HP FE's for $40K. And if you insisted on FI maybe another $6K. A $40K engine will not comeback in resale value.
