Hey Max7, you're the metalman, why don't you fab up one yourself? Shouldn't be THAT hard, once you figure where to put the trapdoors and baffles.

I don't get where they say the X-brace increases engine stiffness. WTF? If our engines flexed that much we'd be blowing dowel pins and housings left and right like the guys who try to get 350+hp out of an FC engine, or 700+ from an FD. And if that is the situation that they're talking about, I don't think holding the oil pan in place will do anything as most of the "blowing out" force is near the bottom of the spark plug area, pretty far from the oil pan rails.

- PJ (who is still researching where to put the extra pins, for the back-burner 6-port Turbo project...)

I can make one, but if I welded it, uh, well lets say I'd have to add oil every mile while driving. heheh
