    Kicked up a big rock with our '48 Willys and may have punctured the oil pan on the 225 v6. Haven't had time to find the leak yet but wondered if there is a hole in the pan, can it be welded or would I need to look for another one?

    Thanks,
    Wayne

    Just steel. Can be welded. I'd recommend removing it, cleaning thoroughly, welding, then leak testing with water or something similar.

    Thanks, that's what I thought but wanted to make sure.

    Might be a good time to add a skid plate of some sort to the bottom. I did that with my 231 before I put it in the '59.
