Many thanks guys. The full pan had to be removed. Is there an engine I'd on the block? I assumed it was the original engine as it has been in the family since 53. Front block mounted water pumps, 24 stud heads. Again thanks for the help.
I pulled the motor on a (39) v8 to replace a bad starter ring. I removed the 4 bolts from the lower housing. It appears to have more fasteners that can't find. What am I missing?
