We have our mig welder set up to do aluminum and any attempts I have made were miserable failures but I was not motivated. Maybe this gives me a reason to spend some time on the bridgeport and learn to weld aluminum.

I can also CNC aluminum on our wood fabrication CNC if I had to.

Bill,

Talk with Dennis as well, there might be room to section the engine pedestals and gain some clearance. The determining factor there is the pan to cross member clearance. I seem to recall the last FE we had through with a Canton pan had about 3/4-1" of clearance so you might be able to secure another 1/2" or so of topside room.
