Finally posting pics from several months ago. This was installing new Ford oil pump, new driveshaft, cleaned and polished bolts.
Oil pan fasteners before cleaning...nearly forgot that I needed to do these, since they get painted with the engine.
Note original counterweight forward of the first main bearing. New Ford oil pump and original pickup was disassembled cleaned and reassembled.
Pan attaching hardware after cleaning...note different head stampings.
The pan is on, finally!
New bronze pilot bushing in the crank.
Rare to see the Ford script on an oil pan of this vintage...this is right after media blasting. The pan appears to be stamped June 11...but hard to see.
One final note. I noticed this small mark near the Ford script stamp on the crank before I put the pan on. Looks like a Brinnell hardness test mark. I've seen earlier cranks that have a highly polished area where the cranks was supposedly inspected visually. This mark is different than what is on the flywheel, it is a single conical indent. Cool stuff - and yes that is original orange paint on the piston rod, they were just cleaned not media blasted.
