does anyone know if this oil pan can be modified to drop the motor some or does the pick up tube go to the bottom of a v6 oil pan in a nissan ?????

--------------------------------------------

If it does all you have to do is section the pickup tube also

the hole in the hood is big because i just wanted it on im replacing it later with a 96 hood but heres the progress so far we had the front done and had to redo it because my stroke mounts hit my brake booster so we bent some tube and heres what we came up with lol i think im going to redo the strut bar once i figure out how to modify the oil pan and oil pump pick up tube if needed but for now i will let the motor sit a little high but im doing what it takes to keep the v6 i mean crap i kept the back seat im sure i can make this v6 work ... and the passenger side strut mount will get the same tube gussets as the driver side we just didnt get to them today

Whats happening here?

Nice start man, looking good. I have a 94 4 door that i just got started with on the table now. Looking forward to see it progress.

--------------------------------------------im building the only 2 door that i know of that is sfbd with irs a 100%stock back seat and all 300z suspension i had to scrap the reck and pinion it wouldnt work so i am connecting all my factory steering from the finder on the custom frame .... not sure what else is not explained that you do not understand lol besides the fact of my front end is now held up with struts instead of 2 a arms i only have 1 lol no upper controll arms

LOOKIN GOOD. GLAD TO SEE MORE PATHYS BEING BUILT. CANT WAIT TILL MINE IS DRIVEABLE. THEY ARE DEF A PAIN IN THE ASS TO LAY OUT

we redid the front strut bar and added another support tube

i got the pumps all re plumbed and remounted to rack mounted the front strokes notched the strut housing for stroke fitting and gusseted on the backside to gain the strength back i cut out and i fully welded the front end today hoping to have the steering and bodymounts done tomorrow and back in my driveway by this weekend where i can plug everything back in and reinstall the complete interior

lookin good man but you might wanna put some sort of pivot point where the cylinder is bolted to the upper mount. jus sayin

ya i just ran it to get it out of the shop it was at it is not the first juiced ride on strokes i have done thanks though.. i had a 03 mazda protege 5 wagon like wills from surface dvd just a different color blue that i built and is in the new surface dvd from when i was in acro.. i now have pulled it out of the shop because of multiple reasons but im going to be nice and leave it at that ..... but i plan on dropping the motor i just have to mess with the oil pan and possibly pick up tube . and after dropping the motor i have another hood so i can cut a smaller hole than the gigantic one it has. im going to do the body mounts my self because they are not done ,and put the core support on and trailer it to the last call show for brad lang hosted by severed ties.. then after im going to tear back into it hard to try and have it driveable for wcn so i can cruise it at the run, but at this point it is all me no shop help on finishing it so it might take longer than expected but im hoping not . because i have some toe issues with the steering stuff im using and have to figure out the pivot for the front upper .if anyone has ideas on a product i can use then cool i was going to do a bushing with it under the steel between steel and stroke with a washer between stroke and bushing kinda like a stock strut bushing but at this point idk what to use i just had to get it out of shop before things went real bad
