 Does anyone have an accurate AutoCad or TurboCad drawing of

 compare it to the hole spacing on the engine block.  If

someone has already

 done this and would share the cad drawing I would greatly

appreciate it.

 Thanks

Here is the trick I used Del. Buy some 1/8 inch thick transparent
Lexan and lay it down on the flange of the old pan or on the bottom
of the engine. Use a center punch to mark the holes. Then drill it
out and use it as a drill template there after. Plexi will also
work but it is not as tough as Lexan.

Del,  I may be able to get that drawing for you if Danny (machinist
friend) saved the machine instructions which he should have done.
ten minutes later:  just talked to Danny and he will try to come up
with the drawing and e-mail it to me.   Don't hold your breath, he
may not get to it for a couple of days.   Jerry

Jerry, I just visited your site and didn't see anything related to the oil
pan hole pattern.  Any chance of still getting them?  Also, have you or will
you share with us the dimensions of your oil pan that fits the existing dip
stick for those of us that want to try to weld our own.

Thanks

Del Johnson
