had to lengthen the pickup tube. I heated and bent a lenght of tube and welded it in. I dont remember the length of tube I added but the pickup now sits just below the bottom of the pan.

Earlier this year I extended the pan on a bu**k v6. I made a cover out of 1/4" Perspex and tapped it for
an airline fitting. Pumped 10psi in it and put it in a tub of water to see if it leaked (it did...).
Filled the hole in the weld and did it again, worked a treat.

Looks real good. I am looking for a truck pan for my install now. They seem to be a little harder to find than I thought. If you find any pictures of the motor in the truck let me know. Thanks for the help.

Chuck, good idea about bolting to a bare block. Dustin, here is an oil pan given to me by "569104" (thanks Greg). Just some ideas that you might consider.

We used to bolt the pan to a bare block to hold them straight. I've seen some that lookes like ruffels. Take your dipstick to a rod shop and compare to the ones they have. I'm using a chrome Mopar dipstick in mine and its an inch or so longer. Some of them are longer than that. Once you find one that fits put the correct amount of oil in the pan, check it and mark the new dipstick. Easy peezy! Chuck
