Thats a lot of welding and potential warping. Maybe? The OEM setup is what I plan on going with, can't really match the fit and finish in my opinion and its' all available still.

Welding aluminum that needs to seal well can be tough, especially on a cast oil pan. However, it can be done and someone willing to put in the proper time to prep it correctly could make it happen.
