    Corty74 got a reaction from Thom in Cortina precrossflow to crossflow conversion   
    I knocked out the ballbearing they use to plug the rear dipstick hole and used it to plug the front one. 
    I tried to buy a new dipstick for the 250 but not one supplier could get one. In the end I brought one for a 351 motor and cut the pipe down so the dipstick was the exact distance off the pick up. Little bit of mucking around but come up perfect. 👍

    I have both engines or of the car so I think I’ll pull the sumps of the both of them and try the precrossflow on the 250. 
    Will have to see if the pick ups can interchange as well I will try to find the dipstick poisition is it still on the same side of the block? 
    It’s XL but was in reasonable shape when we found it, this is the day we brought her home. 
    We are painting her this weekend went with the new Ford Mustang Yellow to stay with a Ford colour. 👍
