Long story short, I'm building my version of a Hot Rod. There is no plan to go rock crawling although It should do a good job of it. The project has been on the back burner for a couple years. I'm finely getting back to it. First thing on the list is getting the engine to fit, I'll get to that in a minute. Here are a couple of photos of it. How it looked when it was all together and what it looks like today.
And now I have a question.
Does anyone know how to remove hot dipped galvanized?
Here's the deal, the engine is a custom build 427 stroker using a Dart block on a 351W format. The Moroso oil pan that came on the engine I bought won't work with the Bronco (As Is). The front drain plug is too close the front cross member and then when I compress the suspension the front differential hits the rear sump. I bought a Ford racing oil pan for the it last year sometime. Went to put it on yesterday and found out it won't work with the Dart block it hits the rear main cap. So, after some searching on line I found out that there are two companies that make pans that will work on the Dart block. I'm thinking I will just cut this one apart and do some custom fabricating to make it work. The problem it is it is hot galvanized.
