I have the 440 source aluminum pan that I drilled the hole for the external pickup in. I may or may not have an oil starvation issue...not sure at this point. Just trying to get a game plan together if that turns out to be the issue. Just got the motor out yesterday afternoon.
It's been fine for years, but now the car is a lot faster and doing much longer and higher wheelstands, my thought was that the pan may be an issue.
