Teardown is yet to occur, appears to be leaking from rear of pan. This is a custom Charlies pan, and he did a nice job. Its my own design to maintain ground clearance its not very deep, but even with kickouts and Accusump its not enough.

The pan doesn't use a gasket. 100% RTV all the way round. Yes, it was hospital clean at assembly, wiped down with brakleen several times. Beads on both sides, squished out nice on assembly. Worked great in the past.

With the old motor the car was about as fast as a C5 Z06, should be able to run with a C6 Z06 once sorted out. Brakes surpassed expectations, never a shortage of power, it just kept pulling as if the wind wasn't there.

Andy's on the right path, I'm ready for something different. If he is willing to unload the 427 motor, I might have a roller for sale.
