Jon,
When you get them out, see if the have the flat plate in the front. Keith used this surface to mount an external oil pump inline with the crank. He made these pans cast with and without the plate. If they have the plate, I will take one or two...whatever is left after Dock gets what he wants.
Thanks,
Ben

I took these pictures prior to seeing your question.
Is this round flat with the hole in it right below the crank what you are talking about?
Like I said earlier,..........if either of you are interested in any of the the three pans I would be happy to stip them down so they are ready to go.
Thanks Jon

Thanks to all of you that responded to this thread. I had oil leaks from day one on the new engines we built last year around the oil pans and we thought that new pans would be the best and proper repair. However we discovered with the help of the rigger and the original engine builder that we could solve the problem without new pans for very few $$$.
Thank you all for your input.
Merry Christmas
