COMMENTS:
	You gotta take the engine out. Do bearings if you need them or other 
	items as appropriate while it is out. I replaced rod bearings as they 
	showed evidence of "excessive loading at high rpm's", as the book called it. 
	it couldn't have been all those hours at the tracks above 4000 could it? 
	eh? nawwwww...
	the tray itself was the easy part. It bolts up after you cut a hole in 
	the side for the mounting flange that supports the oil pickup tube. test 
	that and then you can bolt up the bottom end. the kit has bolts and the 
	drawing showing the location of the hole. cutting wheel did it fine.
	Its the other stuff. the pan was a touch too shallow at the point where 
	it crosses over the k-member and hit the windage tray.  I just beat the 
	oil pan to give it a little curvature for clearance.  the "oil level sending 
	unit" that fits in the pan to tell you when it was low has got to go. Again, 
	a large hammer.  The dipstick hits the tray. I cut off part of the end. 
	It still reads the same, its just shorter. and still hard to get in.
