Last night I had a long conversation with Gordon Raymond, who I met on the Alfa Bulletin Board. He is a Alfa Guru, and he builds custom oil pumps both for race and street. After discussing my project he suggested that I need a Alfa 101, 1600 oil pan. The advantage of this oil pan is of course it is narrower than the 2L pan, but it is the shallowest pan available. It is 3/4" shallower than an Alfetta pan. The most desirable pan is a Veloce pan but they are quite rare and expensive $1200. There is a 101 pan on ebay which I have bid on, hopefully I will win that auction. Gordon can build a pump for me.
Today I am going to speedway to pick up the swedged tubes and heim joints to build my tie rods.
After much discussion with my machinist, I have purchased a new welder. I got a Hobart 187 welder, which is a 220v welder. Wow what a difference, now my welds don't look like chicken shit.
