ya its about 500 cubes and is only spinning around 6k max. it has 2.20 chevy rods and has good oil pressure with a single external line with a swinging pick up using brad penn 10 40. the oil pan is just huge. it is 10 quarts of oil and I have to worry about going over speed bumps everytime because it might drag. the rack and pinion would give me more oil pan options because the drag link would not be in the way, so that is why I wanted r/p.
