[DeTomaso] Rod end/cap thru pan...

It was a Ford Motorsports Windsor crate 427 race motor that we originally
bought as a spare for our Panoz.  It was dyno'd but only raced once.
Essentially newly broken in.

When we went to all aluminum motors for the Panoz,  we built two: one
sprint motor and one endurance motor.  We didn't need the iron block race
motor any more as a spare.  So, we  removed the Windsor heads and put on
new Aluminum Cleveland heads, to build our race Clevor for the Pantera.

The only way we would be missing the original bottom end in our iron block
Ford factory motorsport Windsor is if the motor builder that built the
Clevor for some reason decided it was best for his customer (me) to
"donate" brand a new Ford Motorsports bottom end for crap substitute parts
and not tell us.

That news just really makes me shake my head.  Who would do that?????  It
never occurred to me ...
