I am wondering also on your truck pan. How much did you cut off and what did you use for a windage tray/oil pickup???

This thread also makes a guy wonder if these headers would work on a budget build?

I would have to measure it... there is a line on the front of the pan that we used to cut the pan...
may not need to cut dips stick...it didnt go all the way to the bottom of the pan and we are still working on pick up tube


oh added some more parts to the build

where did you mount the ecu? If it's hidden somewhere I'd sure appreciate seeing a couple pics. I really don't want mine under the hood.
