Thanks Ed. I needed another opinion before ordering. I am popping cold meds today so everything seem backwards to me  :)

Quite correct, Bobby. My mistake,  I sometimes forget we have switched the engine nose for tail (unless you are a canard type of course {:>))

Ed,
 
Would the rear sump in an RV actually be the front sump in the car? If so then I was thinking I would need to front sump pn# 20942.

Bobby, since the nose of an RV can be quite elevated in a max power climbout, I think there is little question that you need the rear sump - provided of course that fits with your motor mount.  It could be a potential conflict with nose gear if you have an RV that has one.

Rusty,
 
I am having trouble determining if I need a front sump or rear sump for a RV configuration. A pusher would take just the opposite. My main concern is during climb out.
I am planning of Freds mounts so the splash plate should not be needed.

Can someone provide input as to which one of these two oil pans would work with our application?  Or, does anyone see any reason why one of these will not work?
 
 
 Hi Bobby,
 
I don't see a problem with either of these, or the stock pan.  All it has to do is hold oil.  The big question will be which one fits your mount.  If you're using one of Fred's mounts, you would probably want to make sure you can leave off the baffle plate on the Moroso pan, since the engine mount plate already does this for you.  
 
BTW, thanks for the pointer to these.  I never even knew they existed.  If the rear mount pan had a much shallower front section, I'd be tempted to try one, since I have some clearance issues with the stock pan.  
 
Cheers,
Rusty
