 6061 is fine.  Keep in mind that the flange of the oil pan is not part of my
 engine mount so it is not structural.  The mounting plate is a separate
 part.  1/8" would be thick enough for the oil pan flange.

Don't forget Jerry Tracy is talking about a three rotor.

Ok Tracy,   now I understand that what  you want is an aluminum sump
that would bolt on like the stock sump.   The engine mount plate is
not part of it.     Jerry
