ajmac: I see what appears as large core plugs (2) at the rear of the block above the bell housing. You may be aware Ford USA had a problem removing core material from the rear of the blocks, through the small pan rail plugs. The large core plugs at the rear of the block may have fixed this problem. Are there any part numbers on the rods? How about the main bearing caps, in the USA they have a part number prefix are yours marked?
