After pulling the subframe from the rusted out parts car and cutting it up. I decided the way to get the engine lower and further back was not subframe modification, but rather oil pan modification.
So I cut the oil pan off a mercedes OM617 and the oil pan on the 1jz. and welded them together. much as I tried to keep the product flat, the resulting product bowed .08" so I machined it
just .03 left to go. will see how it fits today after cleaning off all the bits of aluminum.
Probably going to redo the engine mounts as they look like crap and I now have a CNC plasma cutter and am better at welding and machining.
