Matt King used Moroso's Eliminator pan with the kicked out side rail like the one on my small block, when he had the big motor in Project Super Nova. Milodon also makes a similar kick out piece--both are worth 20-25h.p. more than a stock pan. Fit is tight, but it does fit if you get a later version pan; some early units needed clearancing.
Do you happen to know the Moroso pan you have 9" ?

Hey, thanks for the replies. I am probably just paranoid. I plan to use the car mostly at the strip, and occasionally on the road. I don't want to have the pan scape on driveways.
