Re: Oil Sump Corrosion

These mag sumps can be welded with good results, I have a 5 bolt with a weld repair for sale exchange.
Tungsten Inert Gas welding was invented to weld Mag during WWII, temp control is important during cool down they will crack during this period.

Re: I0-360 STC discussion?

I just had a talk with Tom Anderson, he gave me these as prices for the IO-360 mod. $1500 for the engineering, $30 for a set of prints, $5000 for an engine mount, $500 for a header tank.
