Thread: 454 Galley Plug locations?

Tweet

Over a year ago I took my 454 block to my local machine shop for a cleaning. They handed me a bag of galley plugs and said I would need to put them back in. Well its been over a year and I am a little unsure of the location on the internal galley plugs. The external plugs and freeze plugs im sure I can figure out. Any help would be amazing

under the front cover--lifter oil gallies--get vented 1/4 pipe plugs with about a .025 hole
rear lifter galley plugs--back of block --1/4 pipe plugs
along lower left side of block--1/8 where holes are drilled from main oil galley up to mains/cam

ok great!
My block info is as followed
Year 1975
2 bolt main
casting number is 361959

By any chance do you know the total number of plugs for inside the motor. Just dont wanna miss one

1975 454 two under the front cover is the only inside ones

under front cover? little confused - the timing chain cover

thanks in advance

Yes the timing chain cover and it does go on the front

thanks
you guys are awesome
