Now is a better time than ever for me to try something like that. Do you have pics in those threads? I'll have to do some looking. I wish the F-body had the aluminum pan with steel tray.

If I've learned anything here its that we can probably make one. And do it badass [emoji23][emoji2937]

F*** the aluminum pan and steel windage tray. It's worse than the steel pan with the plastic windage tray / gasket.

The aluminum pan with the tray removed using the plastic windage tray / gasket is not a bad deal but the rigidity of the pan basically just makes it quieter.

You're basically adding the baffle that they removed from the plastic windage tray to make it so that you can put the giant pick up through the gasket when installing your pan.
Yes there are pictures in those threads unless Photobucket finally deleted all my s***

I'll let v6buicks try first I'm still a little nervous about cracking this rear cover and gettin it back together right when I pull my trans for converter and flexplate

I mean I'm not one to talk since I botched it, but I don't think it's necessarily anything to worry about. Just get it level with the block to pan surface, crank her down, and RTV the two parts where the cover block and pan meet.

Doesn't sound too bad then

And apparently don't bother replacing the shaft seal. Just replace the cover gasket. I replaced mine, but ?‍

I may I may not. My track record pounding seals in isn't that great but I haven't tried for a while. I'm a socket and a hammer type a guy [emoji23]

🔧 BUILD - remember the twin engine olds?

Think a set of those trans mounts need to be made for me ill extend the roll caged and weld em to the firewall LOL! Looks like so much fun. Cant wait to see shell with the engines and trans mocked up and mounted! Humans don't live long enough for that :drums: lol

Haha I hear that. I don't have any fancy driver either. I've just been lucky using a well placed block of wood and a hammer. lol

Photobucket is gonna murder me for this. Snip and Sketch FTW!

I cut off the front and back edge of an aluminum pan to make cover alignment fixtures.

So the aluminum pans are useful after all

 

[v6buicks]

My only concern is that having a welded sheet hug the pick-up tube could make pan removal a huuuge bitch. I suppose that as long as I can sneak my 8mm wrench in there to disconnect the pick-up then all is well. I'm glad you noted the turbo drain shield too. Mines on the other side so it shouldn't be a problem, but I'll remember that if I decide to move it.

That's the 442.

It's our tribute to the original Hurst "hairy" Oldsmobile

That things freakin awesome I'd love to see it in action

I'm thinking in so many different directions that welding a 3/4" NPT bung sounds like the best way to go for somebody who's indecisive and needs options down the road. At least then I can just swap fittings if necessary and pan removal will never be needed.
