My first attempt

Been wanting to do my own oil pan /sump ...not much different than TAs stamped pan but I figured why not...will be baffled hold 2 more qts without getting into the crank I feel sure.

 

Will be end of next week b4 it's done around 2 hrs in it so far...

 

I have an old school Kenne Bell pickup and extended pan that was on my first 462 motor.. That should do a good job except being a pain to get it past the front crossmember. But,it's doable..Keep posting the progress.

 

That's why it's layer back Pat..the corners are what get you....and I may lay them in too...undecided

 

I got one of Steve's steel pans here...I undersized mi e from his a touch

 

I had this done...

 

I. More excited to lay these beads with my new Vulcan welder....it's badass

 

Yeq I got a frame in the yard I currently the crossmember down in years ago...this pan is for my GSX so no cutting frames ha

 

OK I see now..

 

Make sure you can get a pickup tube the correct length/depth to fit the pan...or expect to fabricate that as well.

 

Will just extend the stock pickup

 

Bottom is done...9/16 bolt...copper seal..two hardened washers

 

Step rolled the stiffner on the wrong side....oh well ha
