Reply to "Rear main seal replace.....in place?"

Re your last question, Bob- utterly correct. Seal ends on most engines should nevert be indexed to the cap joint but displaced somewhat from 'square'. IMHO one of the best investments a do-it-yerself Pantera (or Mustang) owner can make is to purchase Tom Monroe's H.P. #36- book- "How to Rebuild your Ford V-8 -351C/M-400-429-460". In its 160 pgs, Tom devotes nearly half a page (with illustrations) just to rear-main-seal installation on the Cleveland. All engines have tricky spots and the 351C has more than most. This $9.95 book exposes almost all of them (except of course for building a pro-stock race engine or the like).
