Those installing a Cad500 don't generally need much outside help, but these
photos might eliminate a little head scratching. I added a nipple to the
front of the right rocker cover to connect to a new (PVC) oil filler tube.

Photos of my custom front mount and Bill Bramlett's template for using the
'68-'72 front mount are in this same album:

Nope.

But my welder might be willing to make one special order. I've got the jig
I made mine in to ensure fit. There's a minor change needed to provide a
tiny bit of clearance on the right side.

Ken,

If you were inviting someone to bite for another one for the welder to produce, I'm your daisy - I'll commit to paying to have one built.

I have decided to accumulate the various parts needed for the conversion, so if you have anything else available, please let me know, along with payment information.

If I can ever get the 8.1L conversion, I'll do that one on the stretch and the Caddy on my 26' - whenever that happens.

Regards,
