just some pics

i got bored, and started taking pictures and messing around. and this is what i've been up to. got the 347 back from the machine shop about a week ago. preped it al up and painted it. it looks so much better painted, this is a fresh beath of motivation i needed to get pumped back up. now i just need some cash. i may end up getting a 7qt pan instead of using this painted stock one. i dont know how nessesary it will be.

The pics look great! 

An aftermarket pan is a good idea on a car which is expected to launch hard and see regular strip duty.  It keeps the oil in the pan around the pickup.  Insurance on a loss of oil pressure.

I upgraded to a Canton deep sump, when I put the 347 in the Mustang.  I just received a Canton Road Race pan for the "new" engine project on the T-bird. 

If you pick one up, Canton makes few variations to work around things like a main girdle or windage tray.  Prices on new Canton pans on E-bay seems to be the best (about $250 for a complete package w/pickup, dip stick and Pan, shipped).  There are some knock offs on there too for considerably less (but who knows on that stuff..). 

I know...., the out flow of $ never seems to end.
