I hope the pan from the 2.2 gas engine fits, but won't know til I take that engine out. I'll have to look up DHC 2000 welding kit, since I've never heard of it. I temporarily welded a small piece on the pan where it was completely rusted through. I got this engine from Canada and everything that's exposed to atmosphere is rusted. I got everything off the block today using a lot of map gas heat, well everything but one glow plug, it wouldn't come out and I twisted off the head. I'll drill and easy out the thing on another day. I had to chisel off a few of the turbo to downpipe nuts as well. All the interior parts, including gaskets appear to be in good condition.
