    no offense, but there are too many variables that you will screw up with what you propose. Get the ej knight skid plate and forget about it. The plate sticks down a certain distance anyway. Once that is installed, raising the engine or a low profile pan would be a moot point.

            Raise the car.
            If it is the one in your AVatar, it probably lacks suspension travel any way.

            The wheels...Schmidts or Revolution RFX??

                Does anyone have measurements as to how much lower it is then the M20 pan?
                Dude, read the sticky...i mean the e34 pan is REQUIRED for this swap and is one of the basic components of it

                    RE: flat oilpan options

                    Yes, there is a great option for a very, very flat oilpan, but it would have to be used in conjuntion with a dry sump set up.

                    If you'd be interested in it, PM me, and I can hook you up.

                    I used one, and I hope the link works:

                    Admittedly this was on a S50B32, but the oilpans are identical in terms of gasket and fit etc...swap easily between M50 and S50 and the E34 one you'll probably end up with.

                    The images on the dry sump are not the complete and final version that did go in the car, so don't nit-pick too much...I revised a few things. Its also long gone, the pan is on JT's car now! (GOT PSI)

                            A proper dry sump set-up will cost you as much as the swap...

                                    I'd be running a skid plate no matter what.

                                        Shoot an email to Steve over at VAC Motorsports (sales@vacmotorsports.com I think) and tell him what you are looking for. He was mentioning looking into producing exactly this not too long ago.
