Most cars you can't see the oil pan, but with this car you can or at least you can when the side panels are removed.
JMO, but I wouldn't paint the oil pan. I like the detail in seeing the custom oil pan. Looking Good!!
Okay, okay, no paint, just sticker removal....
Doing the final assembly. Bottom end is buttoned up, pushrods installed, valves adjusted, oil pump primed. Just need some longer valve cover bolts, some pulleys, and she be ready to put up until I install her in the car. I love the March billet alternator bracket and adjuster. Only thing is they had the adjuster cocked (doesn't matter for function) but I thought it looked better parallel with the upper bracket so I made a spacer and picked a longer stainless bolt. Hope they didn't have it cocked for a reason...
I know you're probably sick of seeing this engine but the car should arrive between the 14-19th. Like waiting on Christmas. In the meantime here's the 408 stroker once again. The distributor I had was wrong so I picked up a new MSD along with polished wire looms and a blaster coil. The Moroso universal oil dipstick required some mods but it fits perfect now. Biggest problem I have now is the pulleys. They all seem to have a crank pulley that sticks out a little and I need a pulley that is almost flush.

Great links, thanks. I actually watched a video of a 427 stroker Ford (on the factory 5 forum)this morning and the guy had exactly what I need. Sent him a message, hopefully he'll answer back.
Got a new storage shed Tuesday and put a lot of woodworking equipment in it along with the lawnmower. Garage is now semi-spacious and the wait continues. Guess I'll call the shipping company tomorrow and see if they have any idea of when they might be bringing me the car......
