We took one or two out of your shed for scrap. Don't know if you saved one or not.

Well, I didn't see them in the shed, so they must be on a ship to who knows where.

If your engine is actually an '87, it should have a 1-piece rear main seal.

I don't know if it'll matter on the newer pans, but on some of the older ones there were a couple different lengths of the sump. If your exhaust crosses over between the crossmember and the pan sump, you'll need a shorter one.

I found that out the hard way when Paul and I were putting my engine together.
