I am getting closer to the completion of my 408w build. I went to install my
oil pump and realized I only had .014" clearence between the
oil pump housing and the crank counterweight. No biggie, I just broke out the dremmel and ground the pump housing until I got .050". I think that should be enough. When I checked my pan clearence I found that the pickup is touching the pan.The pickup is not stock so I figured I might have to cut and reweld it. Again,no biggie.Does anyone know how far from the bottom of the pan it should be? Thanks Richie
