I also had to dimple the oil pan around the rear rail so that it would sit on the block without contacting the rear main cap bolts. |
This build is really nice, I'm jealous.
Back to the Canton oil pan. Are you running the RR pan or the standard T pan? Wind-age tray? This winter I am hoping to finally switching out my regular pan for the RR pan with the dipstick on the right (Passenger) side.
Also not aware of any dimpling that needs to be done. I installed a Canton pan on my last 428 with no issue. Is the 427 different?
Along with my oil pan switch, I will be removing anything with a gasket because I am leaking oil from everywhere. A real ugly mess! Everything has been sitting on a shelf for three years now...LOL. Just not enough time!
