Please don't forget to compensate for the shrinkage of an aluminum casting. And that's not so easy using a original as a pattern.

This "bondo bomb" is now wider and longer than it used to be. And sump is deeper than original. I used parts of 196 cid oil pan...

This is an awesome topic. Cast aluminum is not an exact science. It tends to have microscopic holes. I think you idea will work, but, it wouldn't be bad to seal all the pans with epoxy or some other type of sealer. Please keep this thread going as you progress.

From the things I have seen you do over on the nest I know that this is going to be spectacular if your foundry source pulls through. There will be market for this item. Edited by maximus7001 - Mar/30/2012 at 3:41am |

You mentioned a deeper sump. Will the sump now hang below the crossmember? For drag racing that probably won't matter so much, but for a street car/road racing it will.
