Decided to do a new aluminum oil pan. The other pan we made turned out good, but I was worried about the 4 qt capacity and being so shallow without baffling. Paranoia got the best of me. Finished modeling it in Solidworks. It should hold a little over 5 qts and will be fully baffled. I'm hoping the 3/8" flange will act similar to a stud girdle and help with motor flex. One final check, and things are ready for the CNC waterjet and plasma tables.

Solidworks is a very nice tool for 3D CAD work
