I just PM'ed you about an sump plate I have in my pile of stuff I can't throw away from an '01 2.7L that had a busted rod poking out of a hole in the case.
Different part number, but looks the same to me. Let me know if you want it and check with me if you need any other odd bits of a destroyed engine.

Dude I thought you were going to JB Weld that hole up and go with the 5 cylinder option.

Ah yes, the plan was to JB weld it and sell it on eBay as 'rebuilt'.

Viper, Here are the pics straight out of my plastic tub-of-M96. I'll give it a quick scrub before mailing:



The scrape on the bottom:



The other side of the scraped part - no internal damage.
