Just checking for any info. on creating a full flow oil system on a french block. ( well OK not true full flow the rear main misses out) It is an SF flathead block with the governor taken off and plugged. I have done a couple of ford blocks before but this one is different. Can we put plug in the internal passage that goes further into the block past the two oil outlets the same as a stock ford block. And can we use the outlet that is way down low on the block that comes in a parallel passage from the oil pump? Sorry i dont have any pics at present its at the shop.
 
You've made me go out in the shed to study my frenchy. I think by looking at the oil gallery layout, that you could insert the plug in the vertical passage from pump, whereas normally on American engines, one places the plug in the horizontal passage. Wherever you place the plug, you'll need to enlarge the outlet and inlet holes from the block that go to and from the filter, so the internal bore of fittings and hoses is at least the same diameter as the factory holes.

Thanks Brian I failed french at school. Yup will need to enlarge holes. The frenchy is for our 37 coupe.
You need to call by to view our 32 3w, its done now, though it has a 50 merc v8.
