Hopefully I can prevent an unexpected headache for you. I respect your perseverance. Keep up the good work.

That was some of the best advice I have gotten on the oil filter adapter area. Thank you for the advice.

Well it definately is not something simple. Pan has been off though, lots more metal in it.
Unfortunately this motor is shot. It is believed that it was something that happened during the accident. I pulled the pan, there are big flakes of bearings in it. Like the size of a q tip.
The engine has excessive end play with an audible clunk when moving it back and forth in the engine. You can feel it with your hands when moving it back and forth.
New Service engine has been ordered from Ford. This will be cam covers to pan, will require my intake, accessories and other stuff but I am just fine with that. Comes with a 3 year warranty.
Motor should be here Wednesday, hope to have it in the truck and ironing out the final details this weekend and putting some miles on it if all goes well.
Cross your fingers, its going to be a whirlwind couple of weeks I think =)
Got home and got almost all of the accessories off the engine just to make sure I was not missing anything to get it put back together. Only need to pull the alternator off tomorrow.
