Using the truck to smuggle coffee beans in from Central America?
There must be an easier place to hide them. 
Wow here is a crazy story even for me. Last year or so I posted about a guy having a DNA check and he had a son, well somehow he paid back support. met his unknown son later, totally broke working for a guy and staying in his employers empty house till it was sold. Turns out he kid was now a biilonaire and bought the house for his preveviousy unknown dad Carma righty there!

Talk to SteveUsing the truck to smuggle coffee beans in from Central America?
So I went to bolt the T56 to my mock up block, couldn’t get it to go on, go looking and the block saver plate is hung up on the rear plugs for the team cam bearing cover. Tried 3 other 440 blocks, same problem.
Are you Talking about the Dowel Pin Locators ??????
Sometimes those alignment dowel pins are very rusty. Might scrape em down or hit em with some crocus cloth. Also , maybe the holes drilled in the AFTERMARKET plate are not the right size. Might have to enlarge them......
Use it as a replacement for a bidet?
No these two Allen head plugs. And yes, I realize I can drill out the plate but really do not want too. I tried turning them in, but that’s as close as I can get them to flush. Might try finding shorter ones
Grind Em Flat to the Block..........Just make sure you can still get a tool in to remove, if needed.....
Take them out, run a thread chaser in the holes, then they will go all the way in. Or mostly, then grind them flat...
And do not forget to clean out the shavings from taping the holes....those are oil gallery's to the lifters....
Just drill the dam plate already!!
OR^^^^^^^^^^
Started Fargo, missing on one cylinder. Shot penetrating oil into carb, still rough,reach to grab a bottle of atf and pop! Away it went. Before i could drool some atf into carb. I did pour some in anyway. Sticky valve fo sho..

Those are pipe plugs... Most pipe plug taps are tapered...
Remove the plugs and GRADUALLY use a tapered pipe tap to make the hole open up a little at a time until the plugs will go in flush... BE CAREFUL NOT TO RUN THE TAP IN TOO DEEP AND THE PLUG WILL GO ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE HOLE BEFORE GETTING TIGHT....

will do, for now, this is just for mockup so I can build my floors, I'll just pull the plugs out for now, figure it out on my actual running block.Those are pipe plugs... Most pipe plug taps are tapered...

Those plugs can be a ***** to loosen up... Try heating them with a torch before removing them...
