I think it's an interesting idea Tom, but I'm already going to weld the existing strap directly to the tube, so wouldn't an additional strap be redundant? And if I welded that secondary strap to the...

Upon further inspection, I came to realize that the cover plate lip at the notch overhung quite a bit, so I came to the same conclusion. But I still wanted to hear the opinion of the pros before...

Some new Details

I did some final measurements. Measurements that I'm sure you'll all find very interesting.

The thickness is 22 gauge. You don't think that would work Ted? What's your opinion on that Tom?

Oil Pump Pickup Depth

I read that the oil pump pickup screen for a Pontiac 400 should be anywhere from 1/2" to a 3/8" from the bottom of the pan. But then I read in another place that it should be closer at 3/8 to a 1/4"...
