Lot's of Ford Galaxies had the same hole in the grill. Cam change!!!
DON'T you dare cut that grille,Dennis! Just because a bunch of "Flat-Raters" did it back in the day doesn't make it right,or "correct".
What Don says ^
Flat Raters for sure!!
FLAT RATERS!!
Not to hijack the thread, but I remember a couple of techs that worked as a team at the Chevy store changed the rings on the passenger side 283 or 327 on one piston(warranty), they dropped the pan, rotated the crank and pulled it out through the bottom! Got paid for all the top stuff, Genius!

May have been tricky to get it back in the hole??
I’d scratch a couple lobes for sure

When Bill Clay raced the car at Mokan he flat-towed it with a 1960 El Camino. Sitting in the back window of the El Camino were two Ocelots. Beautiful animals. Stayed in the car all day, seemingly quite content.
The air cleaner for the Clay Z11 turned up a few years back. It had a spray bar added. I have a friend who as a teenager was around Bill and the car. I asked Ron if Bill hadn't been spraying Nos...he replied "no"... but went on to explain Bill had sprayed both propane and OXYGEN!!!
I am a bit color blind. Maybe I can guess the color from the black and white photos>>
I've seem many of those holes.
Trust me, Remove the hood latch and put a floor jack under that pan and that cam comes right out

I did have to jack the hell, out of the engine.
Russ, is this the car you were telling me about?
Hey Pat.......is that the way Al did it last week?????From ‘55 Chebbys up, so many guys believed it was easier to pull the radiator to get to the cam for a change. When you get the cam coming out it clears most everything except the grille.
Hence, the hole cut in the grille
.
On a 62-64, if you remove the hood latch and jack the motor up with a floor jack and a block of would, that cam will come out peacefully.
