Old stuff almost all stripped out:
viewtopic.php?f=9&p=916#p916Just sump/pickup to pull off, oil filter threaded tube to unscrew and block/starter to pull and dump. Have a stock truck sump and pickup already to fit up from which I'll need the pickup tube anyway. Need to search through and clean up my storage unit to find the second oil cooler nut to put with this one to get the tube out cleanly. This is a one of a kind high-flow ported tube

So, on with the build, then!

I have other related stuff to do, however I'll be trying to work on this engine build every day at least a little in keeping with my pledge.
I'll probably start by finishing cleaning the block deck surface and piston tops.
I may gasket-match the oil drain passages as I did with the out-going F8, too.

Pilot bearing needs to come out, and new one go in in its place.
Rear main needs replacing.
Sides still need more cleaning.
Got to clean out the oil cooler and other plumbing which has corroded in storage, too. Fun.
Likely other things not listed here yet.
Fred.
