Well I have my fingers crossed that there will be clearance and I will not have to notch anything but we will find out. If it turns out I do have to notch something I will decide if I want to notch the subframe or oil pan at that point.

Well I received a MAST Motorsports pan this week, have my plastic mock up block on hand, just waiting for the Holley Mounts and Headers to check the fit with the Ride Tech TruTurn Steering.
I have looked at all the pictures that Todd has posted of his cars that he has been test fitting and researching. Althought I don't have the mounts in yet to completely bolt this all together, i believe I have placed the engine in a very close position to where the Holley mounts will put it. Its 1.5" off the fire wall. I also lined up the upper control arm bolts with the spark plug and exhaust ports are based off Todds pictures.
If this is all roughly correct, there is plenty of clearance with the mast pan. I am leaving Tuesday for Detroit Autorama and will be gone all week since we are bringing a car up there and then have to tow it all the way back to Florida. I will hopefully have all the pieces by the time I get back and I will get a 100% confirmation.
Here are a couple quick iPhone pics that I took for reference.

Very interested to see what your results are as I will have the same set up as you. I'm tyring to figure out how this builder got his Holley pan to work with his Tru Turn http://www.pro-touring.com/threads/9...ld-in-PA/page2 ALso, a little off topic, but what wheel-tire combo are you running up front? That is a big topic of debate elsewhere as well.

It looks like the bottom of the sump on the Mast pan is 8.84" long and the Holley302 pan is 9.76" long. Both pans must angle backwards from the top of the sump to the bottom (the top of the Mast sump is 9.03", not sure on the Holley). There is 0.92" more room available for the Tru Turn adapter according to my calculations and if I am reading the pan schematics right. I'm not sure how much interference there is with the adapter and the Holley pan, but maybe this is enough to make the Mast pan work. Also, hoping that whatever pan is used that we don't have the tie rod ends hitting the pan!

Ok so I got my engine in tonight but I was not able to get the transmission and crossmember in. I will try to get that in tomorrow night but its going to be close. The steering cleared the 302-2 pan but I am not sure if my angles are correct. This is what a 2x4 between the head engine and firewall. There is maybe a 1/8 between the steering and oil pan.
