One thing you've got to watch out for with the caddy 472/500 block is
that unless it's out of an Eldo, it's a front sump pan. Usually doesn't
work too well with most crossmemebers. Also, the '68 and '69 472 is
not recommended by most caddy motor builders (I can't remember why).
A local guy has a big caddy performance shop and he can probably set
anyone up with the right info.
