Well I removed 3 freeze plugs, the three closest to the fire wall (for some reason Kanter only sent me three when I bought a freeze plug kit). It took a combination of techniques, basically the wood chisel and small hacksaw worked best. I didn't hit the cylinder jackets at all.

I then flushed the engine block with 15 gallons of water until it ran clear. Looks a lot better. I'm going to suck the last of the water out of the rear freeze plug opening and look for that broken extractor and any other miscellaneous items.

Next on the docket is the oil pan and the converter cover. Looks like I have to remove some of the steering linkage to get the oil pan out. Right? Or when I remove the flywheel cover will I be able to back the oil pan out towards the tranny?
