Shoestring budget restrictions have it so you can make stock parts work without spending a fortune on an aftermarket solution. Eagle forged crank and Eagle H beam rods with ARP rod bolts.
Thank you for this I had mocked up my windage tray before and had no clearance issues then but now after installing the rods I found out it wouldn't turn over when I was installing the rear cover.
Getting spacing correct is essential. I like to use a wad of tin foil sometimes and crush it down, then undo everything and see what it measures. Cheap and easy. Used that method recently to check for hood clearance over top of a manifold. Had to notch a little out of the under structure, but it worked like a charm.
I would not stack washers under this tray for multiple reasons. You want to endure tge tray rests on a solid standoff. The better way to do this is to add metric un flanged nuts to the studs then the tray. Tge washers will inevitably move around over time. Lots of moving parts and stuff moving around in there.
I'm not worried about this in the slightest. and like I say in any of my videos, if something ends up not working or fails, I'll be the first one to come in and say it didn't work. Also I tried the flange nut thing and wasn't comfortable with moving the windage tray down more than necessary because all it does is distort the hell out of the pick up tube.
fortunately for you, your pickup tube isnt protruding too much. I have the same issue and the lower oil pan (batwing) hits the pickup tube draw point. Im in the middle of cutting the mount and trying to shorten it.. not having a good time
@@PNW_Car_Mods I’m not sure, I’ve noticed there are two oil pans, one with a removable lower batwing and one that isn’t. Maybe the pickup tubes are different too? I have a different pickup tube as I use the black o ring for the oil pump instead of the green. I ended up cutting the mounting leg, shortening it, and welding it back together. I got 1/4” of clearance but don’t know if that’s enough
@@slvrwrx25 1/4 inch is perfect. no less though. No more than 3/8s of an inch. I've heard upwards of half inch can cause problems as well. I think you got it made.
GD Mr. Black. You always have some cool sh*t going on in your garage. Can you imagine if you, me, BST, WJ Handy Dad, all lived on the same street? LMAO -Chuck
