Today I started to remove all of the top end olf the engine to ready it to pull the short block and trans.
The last motor mount is to arrive on Monday. So I can start to look at how I can modify the mounting location to lower it a bit. I think I can actually re-drill the frame brackets and move them out to lower the motor.
Next I got the Canton
oil pan out that 289fia_cobra had sent me sometime back to prep it and figure what else I will need to put it on. He had problems with it leaking. I found one side edge was bent and it would cause quite a gap that would be tough to seal. After a little metal work I have it pretty straight. Should now seal!
It is a front sump designed for cobras. It has a race trap door baffle, crank scraper, windage tray & anti- slosh baffle built in! I will need to purchase a pick up tube and dip stick for it.
I'll also replace the
oil pump with a high volume pump.
