Custom oil pan question
 
I am finally putting my turbo engine together, and it looks like my Langer pan is going to hang too low...What have you guys used with a 7-7 1/4 deep sump that can hold 8+ quarts of oil? I am currently at 11 3/4 crank centerline, so I dont want to raise the engine...If I have to build one, I will, but i'd rather buy something due to time reasons...

A dry sump is looking like my best option, but that is going to change numerous things that have already been sorted out...And will make space become an issue.

Don't be afraid to reach out to Kevco they are fantastic to deal with.

I also have a stef’s pan that is for a BOP belt drive
I’d be willing to part with at a rockstar price.

I run my pan with an 11” crank centerline 🤷*♂️

Mine is currently at 4" off the ground with the car sitting an inch higher than I want...This is in a drag & drive car that will see hundreds of road miles...With the engine location, the rear of the sump is about 16" behind the front tire centerline, which will make it a bear to navigate over many road obstacles...

Do you have, or know of anyone that would have a roughed up bottom half? I think if I could shorten the sump, I can make it work, but this pan is absolutely perfect and I dont want to cut it up...
