Re: SkinnyG's '61 Apache

Working on shortening the LS truck oil pan 2".

Baked all the oil off in the oven for seven hours. Cooked it outside because I don't fully trust my electrically-molested oven inside the shop.



Pieced together the bottom of the pan using 3/16" Aluminum plate. I'd already be finished, but I ran out of Argon. The pan is not as short as the F-Body LS pan, but I lengthened it to match. No idea what the capacity is now. The bottom matches the bottom of the 4L80E pan.
