Wings are the way to go for capacity but the skidplate thing is a bit of a must really. I have seen an engine trashed over a wack in the sump. not because of a leak but from the sump closing the gap between the pickup filter. It was letting enough oil through to put out the light but at high rpm starved the ends.Game over. You could always add two pieces of box to the underside rails each side of the engine then bolt up a plate to that angled up at the front to form a proper skid plate. Easy to remove/replace. Just thoughts.
