member is back there. It looked like I could double the size of the sump, then
angle the dipstick up from a side-mounted boss on the pan. Routing below the
headers and likely secured below the rear corner head bolt. But, I will be
going down to look at the mock-up in a couple of hours and have a better feel
for how it will work.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

allows for a rear sump so your dipstick would not reach the sump where the oil

sump but then you are looking at possible interference with headers etc.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
