You could have Aviaid do that on their Mangusta pan?
You definitely can sit the engine on these pans. I suspect they are stiff enough to jack the car up with.
Interesting item that I came across is that Aviad made two different depth pans for Shelby and the 289 engines. One for the Cobra roadster at the normal 7.5 inches depth and one at 6.5 inches for the Daytona Coupe.
The engine was set one inch lower in the Daytona Coupe necessitating a one inch shallower pan.
The shallower pan would be a very good idea for the Mangusta in my mind?
For the Magustas, you could do the long Pantera racing type sump, with the shallower depth, with the built in skid plate and have the pan made with exterior studs on the side of the pan to continue with a bolt on skid plate/bridge over the bell, bent with tabs/flanges to wrap around under the bell and bolt to the lower two bolts on the bell to eliminate the gap between the two and make one long skid?
That would look designed in to me?
So far my 'goose will have that pan set up, the new 8/10" wheels, the 2x4 Holley T/A intake.
Now I just need the car.
In the mean time I can have my legs surgically altered to fit into the cabin?
