For sure, the stock hotside housing does not have "A3N" cast into it.

I was able to finish up the timing belt today and install all the other belt drive components. I also ordered a AMS oil pan today (I'm really excited for it and I don't know why). On to the pics:
The pan:
Specs:
100% 6061 aluminum construction. Hand TIG welded
Additional 1.5 quart oil capacity over stock
Front kick out area to allow for more oil capacity
Integrated Trap door preventing oil from shifting during lateral acceleration
3/4” deeper than stock pan
Custom oil pickup
Integrated crank oil stripper
Complete bolt on with no other modifications needed
Bolts right up the factory or aftermarket oil return lines
Adds more clearance for factory and aftermarket downpipes

I tried several vendors and no dice on price. I tried to score a used the other week but 4 other guys wanted it as well.

Well my life has been consumed with getting married/honeymoon these past 3 weeks so I haven't had much time to wrench on the car. Good news is that I got my intake pipe and new oil pan. Bad new still no tranny from shep.
Today I started mounting the oil pan but ran short on time. I milled holes in the bolts the hold the pickup to run safety wire through (so no chance of the pick up bolts backing out) that took some time. Ill will finish up the pan this upcoming weekend.
Started wrapping intercooler pipes.
New 3" intake pipe. I am gonna wrap it in gold foil too
The new pan.
