Oil Pan pics, this is my pan I installed with the ATS plates, GM rubber mounts, ATS trans crossmember, I measured enough to where a minimal cut was removed and a friend welded it up, then I cut the stock baffle on a sharp saw, end result it that the factory GM baffle can be used in a modded pan, I'm hoping I wn't have oil issues like a S&P pan,
