Rusty,
These pans come with steel studs to use instead of our oil
pan bolts. I am guessing they will be to short to use with Fred's mounting
plate. Does anyone know how thick the MMP1 plate is? I do not see it listed on
Fred's site.
Bobby
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.

Hi Bobby,
I completely
agree. The more I look at this pan, the more I wonder if it will fit my
mount. Hmmm, gotta measure.
The only problem with
high oil levels that I know of is in the front cover area, where the
counterweight, and oil chain can whip the oil into a frenzy. Having
the sump directly below the front cover will probably eliminate the
problem. The other thing that helps is increasing the distance from
the bottom of the engine to the top of the oil level. You'll be doing that
to some extent with Fred's mount plate, as long as you lower the oil pickup to
make up for the plate thickness.
Cheers,
Rusty
PS- I just measured, and
think this will work with one small cut and weld operation. I'm ordering
one now from Summit. Thanks again for pointing this out. Excellent
timing !
