Smokey Yunick said the best oil pan was a foot wide and a mile deep but my favorite quote of his
The price of progress is trouble!
Easy to forget he invented the
projected tip spark plug, cross flow radiator , did all the work to make real the big block Chevy with canted valve head ( also known as the 396, 454, etc) did all the real work to discover the benefits of plate honing, etc The man was a mechanical God if there ever was one in my book--no matter his personality etc He was da man!
We look back and some of his stuff looks crude now but he helped pave the way for so many things we take for granted today that it ain't funny. Ok back to that oil pan question...
