Hey guys,
Been out the loop for a while. New job, new house, sos....
Since I'm poor, and the Ken Smith front end I've had my eye on is way beyond budget, I've decided to stuff my 454 with Chevy II oil pan in my '65 Nova and crate the 409 till I can save up enough bread to get the front end. But...before I do that, I'd like to look at options. I'd really like to stuff the W in there without having to scrimp and save for years.
Why couldn't the stock 6 quart oil pan be customized to fit, like the V8 notched oil pans? Anyone out there that could do that for me?
Is there an affordable front end revamp I can do without needing a custom oil pan, i.e. Mustang II/rack and pinion or such steering?
