Max sump under car.

[robo]

Cant find any reference anywhere as to the most sump/bellhousing that can be below the floorpan when installed before something takes a lump out of it?

That may depend on the height of the object you hit

I'd say anything below floorpan level is a likely target

3" clearance under the sump would be a good figure to aim for. ( If the ideal height under the rail is 5").

Make sure that at full down suspension travel there is still air under the sump!!

There is no point in cutting the sump shorter than the bellhousing.
Then it's about how high the rocker cover is to the bonnet.

Have tried to get the answer to this a couple of times, I am about to take engine and box to talon for chassis mock up and need to know what can stick out under the car before it becomes a problem. The answer will determine overall chassis height as that can changed . Is 2" sorry 50mm to the young ones to much?

2" would be OK.
