As many of you know I have a French block and main caps that I had built for my 40 coupe about 14 years ago: 4" crank, Elgin cam, stock bore, two deuces, a 255 cube. The governor items were not an issue - I just plugged/blocked them off. When using the 59AB pan you need to weld up the breather on the pan and cut a groove on the oil pan side of the area that feeds the old breather location so the oil that collects here can flow back in to the pan. I have a pic somewhere on this - PM me if you are interested and I will send it to you.
Actually it was Ol Ron who helped figure this out at the NSRA York show my first trip there with the car when first built. Oil was all over the place underneath and we got to investigating and came up with the fix. It's always a great day when you can hang out with Ol Ron for any length of time ...
