It wasn't just 25 HP, it also resolved a serious windage issue which was causing oil pressure to drop rapidly above 5500 rpm. These 4.25"+ stroke cranks open up a whole `nother can of worms when it comes to oil control.

I'm considering picking up another identical Milodon pan and reducing the front sump depth by ~1/2" which would allow the engine to sit at OEM height.
