the sump area on a dakota oil pan is about 1/2 the size of a regular truck oil pan---for a small block just find the correct oil pan and pick up tube----for a bigblock you need to be a fabricator or know how to find one---either for the oilpan or cutting the firewall and tunnel for clearance....bob



There is zero need to cut the firewall on either the smaal or big block swap! Plenty of clearance to slide engine, trans. back 2.5 inches on both without ANY major mods.
