Nope, aluminum oil pan, but you do understand that for the standard motor, aft entry ,you need a reverse rotation starter. For the CR motor ,aft entry , you need a standard starter.Aslo , check the trans coolers for age, should they fail the trans will fill with water.It is possable to route the port oil cooler over to the stbd side of the motor by modifying a hose.

nothing really special about em, not very different from the sterndrive model aside from no shift interrupt in the ignition system, and your flywheel cover/drive system is different
