Thanks Guys. I spoke with Chuck from Church Boys Racing because I am planning on converting to their rack-and-pinion setup which eliminates the stock cross-member and steering linkage. The nice thing is that the linkage interference issue goes away (no need to notch pan near rear sump) BUT he said that the front of a standard 250 pan will just BARELY clear the rack. The 292 pan is deeper in the front, so it sounds like I will have to use a 250 pan regardless. I was really hoping that I could use the deeper 292 pan, but oh well.
CNC-Dude, I noticed you had given some advice to Landon regarding his 250 oil pickup bracket modification for the 292. Do you know why the bracket had to be modified? Shouldn't a stock 250 oil pickup and bracket work with a 250 pan on the 292 without modification? Or is there something different about the crank that causes interference and requires a little tweaking?
