Thanks a lot. With the holidays and everything coming up and a lot of travel for work, the most I hope to accomplish by Christmas is get the motor pulled back out, prep and paint it, prep and paint the engine bay, and get the new oil pan ordered/cut/rewelded and bolted back on and then have it all test fitted in there prior to new years. But a vast chunk of the work will happen after the new year, hoping to get it all buttoned back up and running by next Summer. Fingers crossed.
