Still waiting on a piston to arrive, but it's snowing now, so the sled dogs should get through a bit faster.
Until I can find a reasonably priced cast iron oil pan, I'm going to use this one. I cut studs from grade eight threaded rod. The threads in the pan are wallowed a bit in the top third, so I installed the studs with two part, metalized epoxy. The studs are threaded right to the bottom to ensure 100% thread use. The front stud length is fairly critical so they don't hit the axle in full articulation, but pretty easy to check without the motor attached to the pan.
