Advice on modified oil pan Finished my pan up today. The pan has to be this way. My drag link goes in the void you see, and there's no (safe) way to get around this issue. Capacity (not including filter) is right at 5 quarts so no major worries there.
My only issue is the cliff at the front of the pan where it's clearanced upwards about 1/2" for the drag link.
Will this ruin the way the pan drains back into its sump?
Should I modify the pan further by making a drain from right in front of the cliff and directing it down into the bottom of the sump. I've already got way too much money into this thing after buying a brand new pan, materials, welding etc.
My buddies seem to think it will be a non issue but I would like advice from some of you more experienced guys.
