my turn for a 20B... finally...

[lt1_fd3s]

just a small update... I did a little test fitting of the engine + trans with the mounts and oil pan...

• Mounts: Defined Auto brackets + 2.6" Xcessive Poly lower mounts
• Xcessive 20B oil pan kit

I'm not comfortable with the angle of the engine + trans and the oil pan rests on the steering rack. The back of the trans is about 1'' or more lower than stock (estimate is based on trying to mount the Banzai Trans brace). Also, with the height of the engine, my front strut bar doesn't clear my #1 trumpet, but the trumpet does clear under the hood about the thickness of my index finger. So now i'm considering my options to allow me to tilt the engine more, lowering the front while raising the back of the trans... yes, i'm toying with the idea of a dry sump system...

I've since pulled it all back out and stripped down the bay as much as I can in prep for getting it painted.
