To my knowledge, this is the first time the oil pan has been off, so it is the original dinosaur snot.
Your 1956 235 engine had never been rebuilt?
It has the original rod and main bearings?
How long have you had it?
How many miles have you put on it?
How many miles on the speedometer/odometer?
What is the engine serial number that is pressed in the ledge in the block, rearward of the distributor?
