It was the pan original to the car. The canton is still in the car as I have not pulled the motor. It has been out of the car for 10 years. I cleaned it then
My welding has improved substantially during this operation. If I were to do it again, I would do things differently. I can now lay a beautiful bead.
The part of the job I thought would be hard, ie, fitting the 1" strip was really easy.
The canton pan is trash. It's not deep enough, and does not hinder oil migration in the pan. Anyone can PM me with your number, and I will provide more details and rational and share what I learned welding
I'm now just about to fill the pan with red ATF and leave it to see if there are leaks. I was using water
yeah, soldering is likely a bad idea
Here is how the baffles are laid out
