Ross, does that block have a oil return in the skirt?

Regarding the Ebay block, I must note that the block may have started out as a FT, since it has a tapped oil return hole, for a compressor. It would need to be checked for a bushing in the dist hole.

« on: October 22, 2025, 01:09:20 AM »I'm running with the assumption that early model year blocks would have a better chance to be cast with the bosses. What I don't know is what would be considered "early"? September to January? September to April?Does it have any markings or scratch marks on the rear of the block?
I'm very interested in the first 2 years of the FT, '64 & '65.

You can get a 410 CID engine, using a 361, steel FT crank and a SBC journal. 4.13 x 3.83

Another option would be to put a T fitting on your oil filter adapter, with a "dry break" fitting on it. Build or buy a accumulator and put ball valves on it to connect to the dry break.
It wouldn't cost to much and it would be a sure fire way to do it, in just a couple of minutes.

I had this issue before, trying to upload pictures from my phone. It doesn't matter the size of the file. I tried just removing the "e" from jpeg file name. It doesn't work. The biggest of these files is 159k.
I found a program on my computer to copy them in .gif format and will try again.
It worked as a gif.
It's not a Face Plate trans but, the first version that both Nash and Liberty used used.

I got the pictures and tried to post them but, they are in a jpeg format and the forum doesn't except that format. I don't know why, it's very common.
Jay can you help out?
