Jeff,
The pan could be deeper than stock, it's a nice
looking Al pan taking advantage of the Radiator air flow.
Normal oil height is at the pan - engine line,
I don't think Mistral would put a return lower than oil level, so naturally I
consider the pan is deeper than stock - it looks to be.

Hi
Steve, it doesn’t really show the oil pan connection clearly … one drawing on
the Mistral website shows the return point to be almost 1/3 of the way down
from top of oil pan … I thought this was too low and therefore used the oil
metering pump connection on the front aluminum housing, well above the top of
the oil pan, but this requires relatively long oil return lines in my
installation.
Is
the Mistral return point above the oil full level of the oil
pan?
I
would consider welding or brazing a fitting near top of oil pan to shorten the
return path if location to oil level is not so critical.

You can see it in the picture. Slightly aft and down
from that black plate cover on the PSRU is the oil return line. Mistral
found that the size of that line was too small and has since retrofitted it
with a much larger line. The line goes directly back to the oil pan.
