I decided to try something different with the oil system by buying yet another oil pan and then ordering a new DRE engine diaper to make it legal. Well, that proved to be a poor decision. The oil pan builder promised me 4 week delivery (it took 10 weeks) and DRE told me 3 weeks (it took 6 weeks). So, instead of the 7 weeks to get parts it took 16 total weeks. It will be all back together this week and ready to hit the track again the first weekend of June. Here is a quick under hood picture from yesterday. Got most of it buttoned up today.
