NR71: First if buying a 312 engine, be sure that is what you are getting. It's difficult to tell externally if that is what it is. Block casting #s interchange between 292s & 312s. Usually you can tell if the rear crank flange is visible. Normally they have a shallow 5/16" dia dot on the flange edge.. but not always. (& not a smaller dia one) Otherwise the pan has to come off to see the ECZ stamping on the con rod caps & crank. Keep in mind that, unfortunately often 312 blocks have cracked main webs due to overtightened main cap bolts, ( it's a long story) A deep crack may render the block useless, unless you can afford & find someone competant to cast weld it successfully?.. Rams Horns, if not available, in good shape, should be available new from John Mummert's site, one of the Links from this site.. Hope this helps, good luck..

niterunner71 I should have what your looking for. Several 312`s some 292`s . I have a truck oil pan & pickup tube & screen very well cleaned & straight & ready to install , and no not all 312 cranks have the dot on flange. I have one here without dot. I will gaurentee every thing I have here is what I say is.
