crxracer

I did a sbc fb a few years back still have the mounts but no pan sold it. I have a buddy that welds so wr can fab one up just need to know how much to cut off or if there is a pan that fits. Im oretty sure grannys uses a cut truck pan any help will get her on the road faster

I had same problem granny is only one tht I know of but there 160 bucks. Sounds bad but I jst dentes mine in with a little hammer till i had enough clearance for rack but gota be carefully tht it doesnt hit crank otherwise I think there is a milidon pan fron summit that mite fit I belive but not 100 sure also is a circle track pan from summit that looks to be low profile in the front. Also I know the steering rack has rubber bushings were it bolts to the fram ive seen guys take them out and tht will hive you then clearance you need with a stock pan

crxracer

Well thanks a lot ill check summit and the last time i checked grannys they wanted like two forty for it i really just need someone to post how short it needs to be someone has to know and im not trying to cheat grannys just wanted to fab up some things to save a buck or two

Why trust someone else 's measurements? Why don't you do what any competent fabricator would do - remove the pan, mount the engine in the car and take a few measurements. It only gets more complicated if you have to move the oil pickup. I did a Ford into an FB, and had to modify both the pan and the crossmember.
