Fbody Long Tubes and Autokraft Pan??? Hey guys,
Not sure how many Fbody folks on here have encountered this but worth asking:
I was in the middle of a swap a while back and encountered a weird issue with the AutoKraft Oil pan not clearing Fbody headers on the driver's side.
Has anyone else encountered this as well? It hit the oil filter I believe and may have been right up against the pan as well.
I could probably go with a remote Oil Filter but would like to avoid that if possible.
Long story short, Fbody long tubes work great in my '69 Cutlass LY6 swap as they allow me to keep the column shift, but when I switched from a stock style pan to the autokraft pan for steering linkage clearance I ended up not being able to mount them because of the oil filter interference.
Thanks in advance!
Dave
