Picking up on this older thread to let everyone know the commando engine is out of the 65 Cuda finally. Will probably have some questions as I get into the rebuilding stage. Oil pan has a few dents that shouldn't be there, looks like someone had a jack under it at some point. The replacement pans I'm seeing don't have the proper indentations for the steering linkage. Would rather not buy one that has to be pounded on to fit right. Anyone know one that will fit out of the box?
Attached a few pics. That frame rail near the drivers side motor mount looked a little strange so took a pic. No signs anything had broken off or rusted away, so assuming it just looked that way from the assembly line.
Thanks.
