I've been meaning to update for a while. Project has been progressing..Collecting parts mostly.
OIL PANS
There appear to be 4-5 different pan configurations for the 3.6L. Ill list all I've found the one couple I have.
DEEP REAR SUMP--Mostly Ram Trucks

DEEP FRONT SUMP: Grand Cherokee/Durango

MID SUMP JK Wrangler:
fairly Deep,,,Too Deep for stock center link

SHALLOW FRONT SUMP,,Passenger cars like Minivan, Avenger/200, LX
This is what I went with because since the 3.6 sits so far back there's plenty room up front and since its also so damn tall,, I want it as LOW as possible. Here is where I'd like it to go in reference to my QA1 K frame

The passenger car pan is also the most shallowest pan so there's a good chance the stock center link/Idler/Pitman arm could actually fit under it. Fast Ratio arms probably won't though(too long)
The plan is to test fit this pan on the engine and with a Borgeson PS box and see where the Steering Column and motor mounts want to live. I'm actually leaning toward mounting the engine to the Frame rails and NOT the K-Frame,,but we'll see.
