What type of engine mount adapter are you using? Thanks

I made my own but they are basically ATS style. They are roughly 12 mm thick. I had to use the spacer plates that come with the Energy suspension mounts though. The lower bolt on the alternator was hitting the frame so I had to bite the bullet and raise the engine by that much and it all fit. Didn't want to mess with channeling the frame for such a small interference.

My Autokraft arrived today.....

Excellent service from Kurt....thanks for that

But....I know the pan wasnt that expensive....but it really looks not expensive.

Sorry but the welding is terrible, although I assume it does seal. But really...some of the welds are horrible !!! I dont even weld that bad.

Given the nature of my usage, Im also a little concerned now over strength, given the stock oilpan is supposed to be a structural member of the block assembly too.

The Autokraft doesnt tie in with the bellhousing bolts either.

Is anyone with a fast car using such a pan ?
