    few questions

    how does the oil pan clearance compare between the M42 and the 6 cylinder motors? are they both aluminum pans?

    what kind of gas mileage difference is there?

    just curious, thanks.

    both alum...m42 is a bit lower. if the car is lowered you should be careful either way. i think the m42 powered cars will get a good 8-10 mpg better on the highway.

        yea, m20 pans are shorter (closer to block)
