Thanks Roy.

There should also be the crank balancer washer and the thin gears and chain in the pile. The block was standard bore. The original rocker nuts were worn out and kept backing off so I added the poly locks. If you look at the baffles in the open letter Buddy Bar valve covers you'll see where they were kissing them. I had only looked at the Ford VIN stamp which by the way is 6R09K...... OK I wont tell. Casting and date stamps weren't a thing at the time. When I got the car it had a steel pan. I found an original T pan that had a patch where a rod had ventilated it but never put it on.
PS - you need to add some gold stripes the the red engine stand.

I will need to check for the gears and chain.  I lost the camshaft in a move.  I cannot account for where it went.  My father gave me a hard time about it and would periodically ask me if I found the camshaft.  Is the original camshaft so important to the engine.  The lobes wear out I thought.  Anyway, it's MIA.  I like the polylock feature and will keep it.  I have the Ford VIN committed to memory.  I was grilled about my Ford VIN and he chided me for not knowing it stat.  And yes, gold stripes on the engine stand would be a good addition.  I will see what I can find.  Buying your car became an integral part of my life and never regretted it one bit.  The Hertz is literally the car that survived three marriages.

I have never trusted a used cam or lifters. The same with oil pump.

I have never trusted a used cam or lifters. The same with oil pump.

+1 - I put rings and bearings in it along with a new high volume oil pump. The cam was a fresh HiPo regrind and new lifters. I used the old HiPo cam and lifters in a 65 Fastback I had built along with a $25 Cobra intake I picked up at the Pomona swap meet.
