I purchased a 1937 Ford flathead V8-60 that I plan on restoring to some level to display on an engine stand. My question is this engine has five cast holes in the rear section in the block that is over the flywheel and I have not seen this before. They look like they have been cast into the block and not machined. Has anyone ever seen this on another V8-60 and what would be the purpose? Is this a one of a kind or simple a modification ?? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Andrew in Colorado. See pictures below.

Ford plugged the oil galleries in the block with pipe threaded plugs at the rear in front of the flywheel. They occasionally leak if not properly sealed, and can be mistaken for a crankshaft seal problem.

I don't know what they are for, but don't ever put your finger in those holes when the engine is running.
