WTB: Oil pan
#16
It actually took quite a bit of measuring -still working on the front curves which are kinda screwy- but here could be the start of a sheet metal pan.
It seemed much simpler a few hours ago...not sure if this is something I really want to pursue.
I will probably have the template laser cut along with some other 1/8" stuff I'm doing to test the fit at least. Might need it one day.
FYI: two of the factory holes are smaller to align the pan. (Upper right and lower mid in pic, 7.25mm vs. 8.5)

I'm going to do the rack, a-arms, lower ball joints, and tie rods, and motor mounts, but leave the old oil pan in place for now as this could be something, I guess.
Front and rear houses connected by a hose for extra capacity on the thrown side.
Hose connects to pipe which goes to a baffle with trap doors around pickup. (Crank will push oil into the rear house?)
Internal house bolts accessed by plugs on the bottom of the pan. (Remainder of bolts are external.)
Rest of pan has to be fairly close to stock.
