Screw in plugs for the water jacket or the holes used to get the sand core out. Oil pan shape to help control windage. Quick disconnect ends on the oil lines. Dry sump oil system with a big pan my guess is the team is try to reduce crankcase pressure. I?m probably wrong but I enjoy the game of Why Did They Do That.
