Hey, dont steel Greg Browns humor, he will have no issue sending you a bill!

No kidding though! there must be some really nice duct work that fits over that gash of a hole!

If you saw my pan bottom, you would NOT want to do this modification. I am destroying all the things that can be destroyed without issues with my ride hight. Lets just say if my pan was 1/4" lower, I would have some MAJOR issues. I was just changing my oil tonight and my alternator hose is continuing to be destroyedas well as small scrapes on my brake cooling air deflectors . Nothing hard is being hit, but if my oil pan was 1/4" lower, it would be a BIG issue, SO, be careful and monitor the pan for scrapes. Also, keep in mind, there should be no issue, IF you have a 123mm ride hight up front (110mm kibort front ride hight plus 13mm), weigh 3000lbs and have 750lbs of spring (howevrer, the bumpstops will stop the movement too )

guys
the picture looks worse than it really is.....must have been the flash or something......I'm not worried about it..... when the ducting plates are held in place it looks much better.....clint made it all....so it WILL be fine.....

there isn't a gasket intbetween the girdle-spacer.....thats some type of yamabond type sealant, but I don't know exactly which type? The oil pan gasket is a silicone gasket....

The widow WILL be running this week....so we have time to route all of the improved breathers and get the valve covers powder coated.....I'm thinking crinkle red will look nice...

Once its running and we put some time on the new bearings I will start sharktuning it......I'm not looking for a bunch of HP...just even out the AFR in the midrange, since its a bit lean in the middle and rich up top......I'd be very pleased with 310whp......
