^ That looks like a truck pan with the sump in the front.

EDIT: If you read the link he posted it's a GTO pan that's been cut on and rewelded.

What was wrong with the 4.0? (besides all the common leaks) Did it blow up? Or did you just decide to pull it, sell it, and help fund the build?

The 4.4 needed a valve job and a timming chain. The engine swap was in the back of my head and when the 4.4 needed to be fixed it was a perfect time

Nice, can't wait to see some video. I put 4 small beads on my pipes to hold the hoses on instead of all the way around works just as good with less time and material.
