Thanks for the replies guys!

Steve-

I'll have to do more research on the hemi pan. They say it's baffled- how baffled I don't know yet. The TTI motor mounts were designed with a 727 bolted to it to maintain stock engine location, so I'm guessing they also paid attention to the angle, and therefore it should be mounted in the same location. When I had the bare block in, it looked good to me. I do not have the pan yet, but the pictures show adequate ground clearance, probably even with the k member (I think it's a 6 or 7 quart capacity). I don't know the TTI ground clearance, but they're really the only option for headers right now. I appreciate the advice on the rear end oiling - I'll make it happen.

Sounds like the centerline of the crank is in the same location.

Who pan is it? What part number?

1.24" torsion bars - talk about some springs!!! What sway bars does he have with that? I found an article on Mitch's car - he runs the 1.24" torsion bars as well. I'm seeing a trend here... Has anyone tried lighter ~1" torsion bars with thicker sway bars? Or does that not have the same effect? I need to go read some of my suspension books again...

You could try a soft spring/big sway bar/big shock combo. That's what we run in our Nacar Late Models. But you'll probably need a sway bar in the territory of 1 1/2" size. A splined Speedway Eng. unit would give you flexiblity. But those setups need pretty trick shocks ($$$). And most of all you'd need a lot of track time testing with some crew to make changes. Double adjustable shocks too so you don't have to buy tons of shocks. The shocks are what make those "big bar" setup work.
