The word is NO COMMERCIAL PAN is currently being engineered at the Franklin Ohio plant.... so I guess we are on our own.

Time to get started... Here are a few links showing the pan removal after I got the news... it was easy to remove it.

Fabrication will take place after I blueprint what portions require removal. Then I will add capacity to the bottom. I drained 8 liters of oil out of this pan.

I will be dropping the long block into the truck before I section out the pan to ensure the girdle does not interfere with the frame.

All comments are welcomed.
