Done. If everything had gone like this right from the start the engine would be in the truck right now. I think it took me easily less the 2 min to knock them out. One went in side the block. like you said Rob i just grabbed pliers and yanked. no to get my hands on a pressure washer and clean the hell out of that block.
While i am talking about cleaning.... how do i get rid of all of the pitting on the block. I was thinking die grinding the whole thing.

the best thing you could do for that engine block
is take it to a engine rebuilder and have them dunk in their acid bath
it will thoroughly clean inside and outside of the block
and remove any crystalized coolant inside the passages
it is probably the best investment you could ever do to a rebuilt engine
there is no sense in putting all of that money into a rebuilt engine , only to find out that there are blocked coolant passages inside the engine

How long does that usually take.... roughly

Also on a side note. I am looking to getting a set of Gt40P heads lower and upper intake. Now seeing as how those are all aluminum am I going to be running in to problems down the road with the heads crackling and stuff like that. I mentioned it to my nabour and he said to try and stick with the steel heads.
