They had incorrect coil springs on the front shocks. It was set up for the weight of a front engined car. The car ran really smooth with the front end up high with a lot of soft travel. I think they did it to gain clearance for the oil pan and bell housing. On the goose, the pan and bell housing are so low that they would scrape going over normal sized speed bumps. I got a 6 quart truck oil pan, shortened the height so that it fits up in the frame. Because of the lengthened sump, it still holds over 5 quarts. I also fabricated a skid plate for the bell housing.
