What size is that huge fricking plug in I believe is the passenger side of the shortblock? I am installing a new shortblock and needed to swap all of the block plugs from the old one to the new one and realized I don't have a tool to remove it. I got the rest of them, it's just the big one. Also is there anything else anyone can think of that I should do when swapping shortblocks?

Thanks

 

If you have a 3/4" drive that should fit, I ended up using a hudge punch the side you hit on fit right in lucky for me that one was a bitch. Did you get the plastic plug out of the back of you old block, next to the crank. Also my short block did not have a pilot bearing in the crank.

 

What do I need to look for to see if there is a piolot bearing?

 

Its just alittle needle bearing where the input shaft of trans goes into the crank
