Hey Ratsmoker,

I don't know crap about engines (yet). However I am learning all that I can before I get into my 352 sitting in my yard.

Not being a jerk but I must disagree with the black text on blue background. A real pita to read Granted the large font helps....but I still have to cross my eyes a little read it

Take a look at this page and see if you like the colors.

I think I do like the silverish letters better. That is cool. I'll chage it during the next update.

Do you have a HV oil pump? Then yes. Running 6.5 qts wouldn't hurt anyways. Are you doing a lot of off roading? Hill climbing can kill a front sump FE.

I have an FMS front sump which is pretty much a stock pan but I think it is baffled better. I don't remember the old pan having baffles. I have had friends watch my oil pressure on hard launches and it didn't loose any. I need to check this with slicks. My front end comes up quite a bit with slicks and 3.70 gears. When I get my 4.56 gears I will probably run into problems as the front end should come up quite a bit.
