Looks sharp as a tack. That's the same oil pan I've got. When you put the dipstick in you will need to mark where 7 quarts go. I talked to Moroso about. They say to pour in 7 quarts of oil and wait for it to get to the pan. Then put in the stick and make a scribe mark on where it is located.

You are going to have something to be proud of for sure.

mike, do you run it to let the filter fill up then mark it or is it 7 qts plus the filter?

You might want to put two marks - one for full filter and one for new filter and oil. JMO

yes, otherwise you'd never really know how much oil was in it when you went to check it between oil changes.

Ryan,

to be more precise, Moroso told me to pour 7 quarts in and give it time to get to the pan, and then mark the stick. I did this, but you use 8 quarts total, with 1 in the filter. Well this is the kicker. A filter won't hold the whole quart. So then you have to pour the rest in the engine. This way after it's ran, it will be just a tad above the full 7 quart mark. This is fine and it's the way mine is.

What I would do and did do is this later. After engine break in and you get ready to change the oil, pour in 6 quarts in the pan and fill the filter, then the rest in the pan, for a total of 7 quarts (6 pan, 1 filter) This will be 1 quart low. Run the engine and shut it down. Give it time for all the oil to get back in the pan. Then mark the stick. This will be your reference for a quart low. Now, add the last quart and do the same, run it, shut it down, give it time to drain to the pan, mark the stick. This will be your full reference line.

Pretty simple, huh?

more oil in the pan means less likleyhood of pumping the pan dry, like under high rpm conditions when alot of oil is being pumped quickly up the engine and may not be flowing back down as quickly. also i think helps keep the oil cooler because there is more oil that can circulate or something. and any debree (sp?) that is in the oil is spread out trough a greater amount.

those are a few of the things i've heard, not sure if all of them are 100% true or anything, but it looks cool as hell, thats for sure
