Cool

I forgot to tell you,,,,

Order your crank scrapper from Mustangs Plus at 800-999-4289. I believe they are just 14.00. You may need to file the scrapper in order to clear the exact rod and rod bolt or cap nut you are using.

You only need one for the leading edge of the crank as it moves into the center of the case.

These bolt to the bottom of the block's pan rail. you just put it in place, lay your pan gasket on top, then the pan, and tighten down the pan bolts.

I cannot think of an easier way to eliminate problems. Of course a windage tray is also mandatory.

Since you are going Vortec power, I would definitely use the crank girdle and main studs instead of bolts. The studs provide superior clamp force, and the torque they apply is correctly distributed to the cap. With a main bolt, it is the bolt stretch that provides the torque. This is affected by time, temperature, and stress. Studs are much more consistent.
