I might fuel inject, but ran two lines just in case. also theres bulk head fitting on both ends, can always cap the line i dont use.

That's a great and flexible way to plumb a pan. Sadly, out east here where it is not as dry it might be hard to keep sealed off from the elements.

Wow that is such a cool idea! What do you use to bolt the pan belly back to the car, do the bolts stick out into the passenger compartment?
Thanks,
Rob.

Hi lee, The center section I had to buy. From a off road supply place in anaheim called mekensies. Spelling could be off. But I Got it there and cut the sides down so I could fit in to stock torsion houseing. Then boxed and plated in to kind of hide. The broached peices were a bitch, Real tight and I had to use valve lapping compound on the splines and drive torsion bars in and out about 10-15 times to free them up. The reason so I could get them out of car someday if needed. They were fricken tight
