New oil pans

[Gerald Morris]

I've destroyed a few, but when they are that stuck, the screen is usually toast or so full of junk that they weren't worth saving.

Indeed. This one's not too polluted. I suspect the man didn't run this assembly very long from every indication I can see thus far. I suspect that this might be one of those core shifted 1969 blocks though. I'll have it sonographed and fluxed before I commit to building it. I loathe the initial expense, but would loathe it more if I built something in a fatally flawed block. No ridge at all in the bores! Cam bearings and journals pristine. Some crap in the bottom end, but not too bad. I MIGHT even use that Iskey cam, though its optimized for 1500-4800 rpm, and I want a lower band, like a towing cam. I have 2 of those to choose from....
