Btw, I was surprised to see there is now apparently a really correct repro oil pan, Scott Drake makes a 5 quart version of the C5AZ-6675-BL for 64-69 that appears to Not have the kidney dimples (the impressions that most repros have on the left and right rear sides). I had to look for a long time before I found a decent used original part to modify. Some really talented guy generously made this drawing for the pointer a few years ago, I won't name names, he may have the copyright

Repro bell housing spacers are cheap and available, in case yours is scraped. Since the tranny and the engine may be mated for another 50 years, it may be a great opportunity to powderpaint these and have them in place forever....
But plan B, if compression is still lively in the engine and the only issue is a freeze plug...or if your guy can get the work done before Spring weather and get you back on the road, all is good...Lee
Sounds like there was no safety wire on the ring bolts from the factory.
The oil pan was replaced by a former owner so I don't have the original. I'm seriously thinking of mothballing the original engine intact and dropping a crate in place, just make it look stock, but keep the original for historical purposes.
Bellhousing spacers? ya lost me there...
on the ring bolts, we're talking #907 here right?
Thanks for the suggestions and info, keep 'em coming!
