speaking of oil, I put 5 quarts in it. I think that's right for a 402 BB.

I just layed under the thing for 20 minutes with a flashlight and can't find any traces of an oil path leading down to that bell. It's like the bellhousing is producing oil or something. There is nothing at all under the valve covers or intake, the back of the block is perfectly dry. The only place I saw oil was a drip on one of the pan bolts. It was the second rear most bolt. I don't know how the oil is getting from the leak down to the edge of the bell and the ground.
