The 235 is at the machine shop, the '54 motor had already been bored out so we chose to go with the '60 block and use the 848 head from the '54.

The question is: Should we use the original '54 oil pump, pickup and pan (machine shop would have to drill and tap a hole in Main Cap #4 for the older pump) or am I better off finding a pump, pickup and pan from a '60 engine? I'm assuming we can't use the '54 pan with the newer-style oil pump/pickup, I might be wrong, usually am. smile
