Another Tidbit of Info on these pans, they do take a little massaging to get things to fit correctly. I had to cut the tangs off the BOP 1-piece pan seal I used in the rear of the pan, but that is typical.

One bigger issue was my Billet front Cap needed extensive polishing to remove the sharp corners shown in this photo, I didn't take any after polish photos but it was almost rounded to the stud washer if you know what I mean.



Areas to be modified:



Even after removing the material, I used a ball peen hammer and pounded the inside of the aluminum pan outward.

Oh and I also had to clearance the lip on the bolt in windage tray as it contacted my counterweight in that location. With anything aftermarket, expect fitment issues to be worked out. I also had to modify my screen so that my dipstick would go through, no photos of that either.
