Hi Hevyhauler

I understand that an aftermarket oil pan is available for the Ford with the "pan" at the rear, I guess that should have been my question.

Big block chevy`s in the uk fetch unbelievable ptices, I bought my 460 Ford as a running engine with transmission for about $1200 dollars, I would expect to pay $3 - 4000 dollars for a 454 Chevy without transmission and needing a rebuild, if ever you guys come to the uk on vacation you know what to bring with you and it ain`t coffee
