A deep pan and a 4x is a good thing.... more oil the better...

Unless this is a street truck, like a car, you never know how long you'll be on a 20 degree camber, or nose down....
Having a big pan that has another 5 qts more covering the p/u that a stock pan holds is a good thing.

I have never had a rock break my front axle and break or contact my pan....
Running higher comp can be done, i have just over 9.5, but again i have a custom piston and a modified chamber.

Yea, I dont do alot of wheeling more of a street/hwy truck. I just figured a deep pan might be over kill for me.

What do you mean custom pistons/chambers... Isn't a 587 a open chamber head, Whats the quench on those pistons. What is quench exactly and how do you figure quench. What exactly goes into factoring maximume compression with minimume octain. Doesnt the cam play a roll with cyl pressure. What about elevation, temp, humidity ect. I live in ND btw and are winters get blustery and summers get blistery. We sit at 900ft w/ no hills or step grades.
