Thanks for the pictures/input guys. It appears that the mains on the Blacktop motor aren't as deep and don't have provision for the oil splash guard since it is included in the 'girdle'. Going to check with Retroford to see if they have a solution before i 'adjust' anything.
The motor in the picture is original bolts everything just with the sump/girdle removed.
Paul, i'll get some dimensions off the sump tonight did you still need the engine mount info from your other post?
