Seth, I spoke with a Ford Technician and he told me it'd be alright if I sectioned the sump out of the tranny pan. I was worried about it, but he assured me that as long as I'm not rally racing around corners I'd be fine. Once you pull the pan down, you'll probably be even more worried about it after you see in there. Cut the tube off the tranny filter. I've put about 2500 miles on it with the sectioned pan and haven't had any issues, not yet anyways. As far as the engine oil pan, that needs sectioned as well to lay true frame.
Derek, you know I was late to pick up Tony S. and don't want to make my future wife a widow. LOL!!
