I tried fitting the 57 pan into place and it did fit with no clearance issues. The biggest difference between the 2 pans is the 57 is deeper at the back but the deeper section isn't as long as the 59. As I was cleaning the 57 pan to paint I found a small hole. GREAT.
So my buddy who is a skilled welder with good equipment took a shot at fixing both pans. I decided to go back with the stock pan. I will fill with oil today and see how it works.
