All of the pan bolts that I could get with serrated heads for this engine were 3/4" long. So I used two of those for the timing cover holes and cut the rest down to 5/8" long, so now they are standard length for a pan without windage tray. Is that what you mean?

Yes, that's what I meant. I think you'll be fine now. I only have mine torqued to 10 ft/lbs. That's hardly anything -- bubble gum will hold 10 ft/lbs.  |

So, the pan is back on the car, a bead of gray motorcraft silicon on both sides of the gasket, all serrated-head bolts (cut down to 5/8" from 3/4") torqued to 10 lbs and the repaired hole is holding the torque fine. I filled it with oil and took it for a quick drive today and so far so good on leaks. I will drive it a bit more this week and hopefully this is the end of leaks.
Thanks for all of your help and suggestions over the past 9 pages  of this thread.

Dare I say it? I am three days oil leak free! Remote filter adaptor block was the culprit. I was able to tighten it a bit better on a friend's lift this weekend.
Just in time to change to a RR pan.....

Similar situation with my 482, thought it was a rear main seal and it turned out to be a leaking fuel pump block-off plate. For two years I wrote it off as being a "typical" dripping FE. Dare I tempt fate, I'm pretty much leak free now.

Might even be worth degreasing and cleaning my garage flooring now.

May have been painful to read, but was WAY more of a PITA to do.
