Mike, you are not considering changing your engine to a plugs up configuration
are you? :-)

  No, but I am planning to build an aluminum oil pan to relocate the sump
further to the rear. The factory pan sump intrudes into the space where the
intake duct for my radiator needs to go. I'm just curious about the sump
dimensions and the materials that Ed used.

  The pan is the last significant piece of engine hardware I have left to
fabricate. Will start on that after I finish my intake which is in progress
now. The intake is very similar to Tracy's though the injectors will be
mounted differently as will the throttle body. Here's an in process
picture. Should have this wrapped up in a week or two.

 Come down to the GatoRVator fly in at Treasure Coast AirPark (FL37) Saturday and you
can discuss your needs with Ed Heishmann (the welder who made Ed Anderson's oil pan)
in person. He is coming with Peter Laurence (RV-6A), Pat O'Brian (RV-8QB) and myself
(RV-8A). Just drop Bernie an email to let him know you plan to attend.
