<div class="yiv1954836997MsoNormal"><font color="navy" size="2" face="Arial"><span style="color: navy; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">I am planning to incorporate a dip-stick
to the driver’s side rear of the new pan for 5332. If I had been
thinking ahead I would have shot some pictures from above of the area between
the camber bar and the back driver’s side corner of the motor. I <span id="misspell-2" class="mark">wasn</span>’t
thinking. Could one of you kind souls shoot a couple of pictures and send them
to me at <a href="mailto:steve@snclocks.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" ymailto="mailto:steve@snclocks.com">steve@snclocks.com</a>? If you
happened to have a tape measure laid so it showed the dimension between the bar
and the back of the head, all the better!</span></font></div>

<div class="yiv1954836997MsoNormal"><font color="navy" size="2" face="Arial"><span style="color: navy; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">And yes, I fully realize I am likely wasting
money and time having a pan made when such excellent ones are available. But I
want the bottom of the pan up ¾ inch to clear the brake cables and I want the pan
sump extended to give extra capacity. My engine builder has done this many
times and his price is very competitive with the aftermarket pans.</span></font></div>

<div class="yiv1954836997MsoNormal"><font color="navy" size="2" face="Arial"><span style="color: navy; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">Speaking of engines – has anyone on
the forum tried the trick described on page 58 of Reid’s Ford 351
Cleveland Engines book of drilling a 0.020” hole in the oil galley end
plug as shown in the picture. It directs a stream of hot oil to the timing
set. Seems like a good idea?</span></font></div>

<div class="yiv1954836997MsoNormal"><font color="navy" size="2" face="Arial"><span style="color: navy; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">I finished said book last night and typed
up my notes for things to keep in mind as I go through my engine. If any of
you would like a copy of my notes, send me a note offline – they are in
Excel and only cover the things that were not obvious to me before I read the
book. If you are debating if the book is worth buying this might give you an
idea of what it offers – which includes lots and lots of great pictures
of every detail discussed.</span></font></div>

<div class="yiv1954836997MsoNormal"><font color="navy" size="2" face="Arial"><span style="color: navy; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">OK, another question – what is the
preferred vibration dampener for a 351C? I am targeting street operation and
good low to <span id="misspell-3" class="mark">midrange</span> torque in the rebuild.</span></font></div>
