327 Oil galley plug?

Posted by Chris On 2025/3/25 7:45:01

I'm putting together my '52 327 that I've dragged my feet on for a few years. I had all the machine work done on the block and some cracks fixed. Purchased a rebuild kit from Kanter and figured I should get on with it so I can enjoy the car again. My question is next to the cam thrust plate there is an oil galley hole that feeds the tappets that is open. What goes in it? Its not threaded like the other holes so does it take a welsh (freeze plug)?
