I kinda butchered this one up but the next one should be better I
reenforced the oil pan flange with 1/4 x 1 1/4 steel strap (angle would
be better to keep the flange from warping) and, using a thin metal
cutting disc, cut a slot through the center of the engine mount detent
of the pan, heated it up one side at a time with a propane torch and
hammered it out. Where the hammered side extended past the original
centerline cut I trimmed it again and then did the other side.
   Are you finished with my Thorp engine mount info dimension wise?

The next step is lead it, sand it smooth, one coat of primer,
15 coats of color topped off with a clear coat :)
Done in the true tradition of a hot rodder.

Yep preety must so but you will need to fit the motor mount tubes once
the engine and schertz beam are in place with the right angles. You will
have to make some sort of rig out of 2 by 4 to make them steady while you
fit and tack the tubes.

If you have the cowl let me know how wide it is every 5 inches
starting at the prop flang and going back to the fire wall.

Lacking that set it up on the lawn with the prop flange hole up
and take a pic from 20 or 30 feet away. As in this sketch.
