Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Ford engine locationCarl is correct on this. Just work between dwgs #6 & #8. After you have enlarged the four pan-mounting holes to 5/16- inch as indicated just hold yourengine bearer up against the oil pump housing and transfer the hole locations.Voila !! Now,see all of the fun you'd be missing with a kit built plane !! Don Hicks________________________________________________________________________________Date: 19 Oct 2004 19:18:59 -0000
