You are lucky you got away with it a couple of times.

I feel you on the shifter....the damn shift gates on the T-56 are DAMN close....too close for comfort if you are required to shift/downshift with urgency and percision

You ever install an accusump or did you mod the pan?

Anyway, good job man...I wish I was near you. I would love a ride in that thing.

I never went with a Accusump and I'm running a modified F-Body pan. Just kept it overfilled a tad. My crappy welding and the high zinc content of the stock pan finally bit me in the ass, the pan started leaking bad after the recent build. I grinded down the beads and put some JB Weld on the pan to try to fix the slight seepage I was getting before. So I ordered up a custom pan from V8 Roadsters that has trap doors for the pickup so there's no starvation...also its 7 quarts, it uses a remote filter. Its gonna be here Tuesday, I'll post some picture up.
