I had oil pan clearance issues as well, but solved them with a custom oil pan. Sump is about 80% of the length of the pan, with kickouts on both sides. Bottom of the pan sits 1/4" above bottom of frame rails. That's a much better solution, IMO. |
100% agree! The C4 rear diff is fixed and the current angle is nearly flat now, so a little angle would help probably. But the sidepipes are a different issue, too close for comfort if I raise the engine a half inch or more, especially with rubber mounts.
I am going to just purchase a lower profile pan and be done with it. The Ford Racing pan is too low and is already listed here in the classifieds section, unfortunatley that's $600 that Summit won't refund on. Cobras aren't cheap!
