Thanks fellers..!!!.. I'm feeling good about the welting..
So after a crazy 20+ days in a row of 12hr shifts , I got a day off..
Had to get caught up on a bunch of stuff I'd been putting off..
So got a few minutes of truck time..even if it is 1am..!!!
Theres been one thing bugging me ever since I put the engine in.. axle to oil pan clearance ..
When the engine hit the floor way back when, I had to get another oilpan..
I did a bunch of research and settled on a Corvette oil pan..it looked like it would work..and it did.. but it wasnt giving me enough "comfortable " clearance..the internal baffle system of the vette pan wasnt gonna let me do any notching.... so after more research, I bought a Holley LS pan (302-1) for a chevelle..
It looked like it was gonna work...well it didnt exactly.. so after more pondering, I decided to just notch it and be done with it..
Sure hurts to cut up a new oilpan.. but cut i did..
Made a new corner out of some 1/4" aluminum..suprisingly the Holley pan is also 1/4" thick..
Now to get my hotrod buddy to do a little tig for me and I think this will be good..
