Good deal, glad to hear it. I thought a deep pan might do it, but
figured I'd wait to see what you found rather than suggest something
based on what I thought might be a half-assed notion.

My issue wasn't with the depth, but the width. A few well placed dents cured
the whole thing and I didn't have to spend ANY money. I'm a cheap bastard.

AH! I knew we'd get to that. The crank threw the rods down at angles
previously unforeseen at stock assembly. Geometry is good to
contemplate. I'd still hate to discover this then pull the damned pan
and work it over... I wanna assemble, fire, and smile

The only reason I knew that was cause I used to own an '83 Z-28 with the
boat anchor 305 chucked. I dropped in a stump pulling 400 SBC. That thing
kicked ass for Chivvy. TH-350, 3.73:1 Posi, T-tops, custom paint, IROC Cowl
induction racing hood, Colorado Custom Somerset wheels. This was no
Mulletmobile. Alas, Colorado didn't like the idea of a carb'd 400 where a
TPI 305 was supposed to be. I couldn't get it licensed when I moved from MO
to CO. I ended up trading it for a Saab 900. And that's all I could do ever
after, Sob, until I got the Ranchero.

That's why you leave it on the stand, upside down, and turn the crank until
every degree has been cleared by every possible catch or hang-up, including,
in the OP's case, the oil pan.

Sounds pretty cool, despite its shaky cowl. Bro-in-law's got a stock
'97 SS, LT-1 6spd. Ok car, but he thinks it's worth a lot more than it
really is, with 130k mi on it. It's evidently got the torsional
rigidity of a saltines box, and the fit and finish of the same

CRAP, I'd have been so PISSED.
You were a Missouri guy? Where did you live? I've been here 13 years.
The rules here are a freaking JOKE in terms of what passes inspection
and what doesn't compared to CT/NY/NJ/MA, or other states /
commonwealths with environmentally active legislatures. I grew up in CT.

Gotta love the exemption. Why I own a '67 has several answers.

I can attest to the tooth jarring effect of railroad tracks at any speed.
When you jack up one corner of a car to change the tire, you should still be
able to open and close the doors. SHEESH!!
> CRAP, I'd have been so PISSED.
I was, but no arguing about it. It was either dump it or convert it to EFI.
> You were a Missouri guy?
Born, not raised.
>Where did you live?
Nevada, 'bout an hour north of Joplin and the original home of Jamie
McMurray. I was born in Nevada and moved to CO when I was still a kid. Moved
back for awhile when I got out of the Service in OKC. Been back here in CO
for about 7 years.

It's freaking amazing. In MO they ensure that your car is sfae to drive and
don't give a crap about emissions. As long as it's a sound vehicle, drive
it.
Here in CO it's the EXACT opposite. You can drive a rusting shitbox with
pieces falling off of it, fluids pouring out the dry rotted hoses, tires
showing the belts, and no brakes...
...as long as it passes emissions. WTF!!

I still have to have emissions, but with classic tags I only have to have it
done ONCE, as long as I keep the classic tags. Mustang has'em, Chero
doesn't.

Twist the bar, and THEN and only then, degree the cam. BUT WAIT!
Understand heat is a big factor. BIG. Operating temp.!!!!!!!!!!
Shit, you gonna spin something to SIX GRAND while HOT, then you'd better
expect more play than dead cold turned by hand, yeah?
