They are only on the other side of town. $16 for a double couriers please coupon last time I sent em stuff. They may wear that cost for delaying the build

That looks like a pre-ecotec pan being pressed steel and all.

probably is...wouldnt be suprised....dunno if im happy with the pan in general or not :S

on the good side of things, i spoke to the engine builder and the bols for the mains he matched up so its all good to use the ones i have, so they are in and torqued up one less headache i gotta worry about lol

The Buick and ecotec pans only have a few differences like a couple of bolt holes at the rear under the rear main plate.

The good thing on the ASR pans is the windage and trap doors. I have a basic ASR pan and am really happy with it

With my pan, they welded the top where the gasket goes...how is a gasket supposed to go on?? Not happy
