I had my 460 rebuilt, and due to a bad cylinder, had to swap short blocks.

I am running the mid sump pan in my 55 F100, so the pickup arm mounts to the special main bearing cap bolt. oops.. where is the nut? on the old shortblock I didn't get back..

The engine is currently 50 miles away, and I am supposed to go put the oil pan, pump, etc on today after the engine was painted..

Anybody know the size of the nut on the special crank bearing cap bolt for the oil pump pickup arm? (3/8x16?), and what to torgue it to? 15lbs?

thanks

Sam

 

and the answer is 3/8-16, torqued to 15.. (just guesses before!)..
