Well my oil pan project turned out to be a bust! I made an error in my measurements and the pan would not clear the main girdle. So I decided to try again, but the sheet metal shop where I get the "T" portion of the pan bent was shut down for 2 weeks vacation (never fails to amaze me of road blocks when you are in a hurry). I called the parts supplier I get most my peices from and, TADA!, they had the proper Canton oil pan in stock! I will be installing the injection manifold tomorrow or the Webers to look at both and will have some pics to post.
