Thank you, Eric, for posting this before I got a chance. This is the issue, both cars Eric has looked at (B&B, Unique) had deep sump pans (FE 428) motors, and SAI Blow proof bell housing, and both had those pieces 3-3 1/2" below the frame (Pan&Housing), with maybe 2 1/2" ground clearance. We walked away from both because of these issues. Other than putting a stock pan (Money & Time), and removing the SAI bell housing (Which I wouldn't do) any other ideas?? I had the problem with my SAI bell housing on my CR which was fixed by cutting the bottom 2" off, seems like more than one of us have done that, but with these cars that already been done. I have a feeling the bell housing on this car (Unique) wasn't the only piece damaged, as this is the second 428 in 5000miles, I believe the first one had it pan ripped off and destroyed the motor as well. I would never drive any car that has major pieces lower than the frame, and both of these, if the front tire went flat those pieces would touch before the rim. Any more ideas? Cheers TommyRot.
