OOOh, just spotted this! Michael, you are so right to remove that metal work, that is what they did on the VLN cars and moved the engine back a few inches. Yes the wet sump would hit the rack, so a dry sump got round it. The front subframe is totally bespoke on the race cars, but you can modify your own to suit. This is what I did, and maybe got the engine further back than even the Motorsport factory installation. I used an ARE sump pan BTW.
