Uhhh.....I do believe your calculation is off.
1qt < 1litre
7 quarts = 6.624 litres.
Sorry I forgot we're dealing with US measurements and not imperial!

That is a great looking motor. I normally hate welds but your sump looks amazing. Did you make the boomerang shaped alternator bracket or buy of the shelf?
Can't wait to see it installed. Great work!
Regards.

Alternator set up is from Fortes parts in the US. Nice bit of gear.
Cheers

Greg, The more I look at the sump the more I regret buying it. Didn't look that big in the box... I Am going to space the engine up 20mm to get some more clearance under it and if that becomes an issue I will change back to a standard sump.
Cheers

Brett, keep the sump, lift the front suspension by 20mm so you leave room for a taller air cleaner element.

Depends if u want the car to handle... Canton make good road race sumps, you can always sell your old sump... Just if you buy & fit a sump do your measurements and make sure the pick up is only about 10 - 15mm off the bottom. Surprising how it can differ... |

Update for those interested.
Decided to lift engine abit for ground clearance which mean't header height changed, small mod for sidepipes, all good. Filled with fluids, primed oil pump, turned engine by hand, CLUNK, back CLUNK. Engine out and found King Cobra Pressure plate is slightly bigger, hitting in Bellhousing.. 
Change clutch pressure plate, just about to put engine back in when noticed coolant leaking from back of head/block. Intake off, head off thinking maybe locating dowels too long, Nope, Gasket ripped, NO, Not enough thread sealer on bolts, Not it, Straight edge on block, Perfect, straight edge on Head, F##k
Hump in middle of head. 
Heads are Edelbrock LocWire style so looks like complete machine down which affect alot of other things or new ones, seems strange to have warped heads out of the box, Anyone experienced this..... or have other suggestions. 
Looks like taking the Mustang to the Nats.
Cheers
