I wish somebody made a brace for the renesis...
I'd say its going to be a common issue with the 8 just like it is with the 7. Other than some differences in exhaust ports and intake ports its still essentially the same block and I doubt the pan has change that much if any. You might be able to bug garfinkle see if he has any plans of doing a brace for the 8 or check and see if anyone has one of his fd braces sitting around for a test fit to see if it would possibly work.

What are they using for the gasket material on the 8 any idea?
