Just some brain picking. The passenger side/ rear motor to trans mounting point. The motor will not mate to trans without modifying the block. Did you have this problem ?
Will a stock flexplate work only using 6 bolts ?

Thanks!
I believe I have an aftermarket Moroso oil pan PN 2035 on my SD4 engine in my Indy. In the shallow end under the front of the engine it had to be hammered out to clear the throws of the connecting rods.
It has the oil return connections from the head/intake. It takes about 4.5 liters when I use the longer PF52 oil filter.

I had the same problem with automatic transmission. I remember having to grind off the area a bit to clear (I still had a bolt in there though).
6 bolts is all there is for automatic flexplate (or flywheel). The 3 hardened shear pins for a flexplate were installed by original engine builder.
The pins are short because the engine had a flexplate for an automatic originally.
