Must be a prototype car. Keep your fingers crossed (and your wires too.)

I would sale these rare options! price will be high, because of prototype and 1 of 1. What people do to cars. To save money, or just keep them running.

I've got a 1967 425 with the same rare prototype! Well, this one is mounted in a slightly different location. This engine spent part of its life in the backseat of a Corvair. I blamed him for this modification.

Ford did it cuz the oil pump was in the front of the engine and the pan had a rear sump and needed a semi sump area to fit the pump. If you didn't have two drains you'd not be able to totally drain the oil

We need documentation of some ingenuity on a DIY liquid tire chain setup. Maybe flamethrowers???

I know how that front "drain plug" got there. The crossmember is a perfect ramp for a floor jack to slide up and hit the oil pan if not properly centered. I had a 67 442 with two drain plugs after that mistake happened. Only mine didn't seal!
