Projects First attempt at a custom

Jamco or Shoebox central's SBC conversion mounts? These are my only choices unless I go power rack. don't want to go that route though ..

 

If I remember right, the Nova pan needs a different oil pump pick-up because the sump is further forward. I don't know if that pan will achieve what you want though...
When I put a 350/350 in my '49, (30 years ago) I had to notch the oil pan @ the front of where the sump drops down due to tie rod clearance as I recall. I'm thinkin' you'll have a tough time making that 7 quart pan work without having the engine sitting too high in the engine compartment, is that what you're seeing?
The character I sold the car to got a dropped tie rod from FatMan with a dropped spindle kit, though after I notched the pan it wasn't necessary.
I'm not familiar with the Jamco or Shoebox Central kits, so no input there.

 

SHOE BOX = FORD

 

Nice work

 

Unless it's a Nova

 

Have you looked at dropped tie rod to provide pan clearance?

 

No sir, thanks. . . I get so frustrated at times
