I've never seen, or at least never noticed,  the sump pan protector coming down from the front bumper in the third pic Dr. Larry posted of the Pearson resto.

Neat detail, has anyone seen that on a period car?

That is unusual looking! I never noticed it till you pointed it out.

I found this in my (digital) files - something I scanned from a book at some point. I think when they say "first" they mean NASCAR first.

That's a great pic, have anything from the outside of the pan?

 It's from a book I think I have here on the shelf, just have to figure out which one, ha. But I'm pretty sure there was only that one shot.

Here is a couple of pictures of the Ford FE dry sump system used in the GT40 Mk II and Mk IV, it's different from the Boss 429 setup as the pump is driven internally inside the special aluminum front cover, the rest of the oil pan is magnesium.

 

This is the GT40 Mk II but the later Mk IIB had the oil reservoir at the rear of the car instead of at the front, the scavenge pump in this picture is wrong as that's where the oil filter normally goes, the in and outlets from the pump can be seen at the bottom of the front cover in the pictures above.

Good stuff!!

What kit engine would most use to build NASCAR stock car? 1/25th, 1/24th? Which kit?

Thanks,

Spent a few days building a master to replace the Polar lights 429 dry sump oil pan. Still needs 25 bolt heads added, but first I need to uncross my eyes maybe tomorrow! The 3rd pix is a comparison to the kit part
