A question that I am not sure how to even ask...

The suspense is killin' me! I kinda like the idea of raising the rear of the car so when ya get stuff coming out of the valve cover
at least SOME of it will drain in a limited area. It might be easier to raise the passenger side and put that wide pan under the starter. Hell, it's gonna be a colossal mess wherever it goes anyway.
Good luck, and HURRY UP!!! (LOL)
