i have a dutton melos and have started putting a 2ltr pinto engine and boxx in it, the only problem is that the engine is tilted backwards slightly because the gearbox is lower at the bk to fit in the tunnel and i cant lower the engine because of the bottom crossmember

if it aint to much i would have thought it would be ok, bit like driving uphill all time............

should help the oil collect at the right end of the engine, the engine in my indy is at a slight angle to much and you may be straining the prop!
