Hey,
Well i just got back from a road trip so i got to do a lot of thinking about my car. i was thinking about buying an oil pan for the 289 soon, seeing that i might build my engine up while i find a good welder for the body/frame, and i was woundering if a "race" pan would work on the street? i'm looking for an 8 or 9qt pan and i keep coming up with "race" pans. i don't want to risk anything due to the exteme important nature of the oil pan. maybe one of you out there would know.
oh, and also, if i build my engine now, how long will it be still good just sitting there on the stand? (and what measures should i take to keep it "good"?)
thanks.
