Default Useful Stuff for Engine Rebuild/Swap

Here are some very handy things to have when doing an engine rebuild or swap...

I got them from EastwoodCo.com, but they can probably be bought elsewhere as well.

Threaded Line Plugs 110 Pieces

Vinyl Protector Caps 1/8 To 1 And 3/4 Inch 69 pc

Engine Block Off Kit

You will also need shorter bolts to hold the engine block off plates, I got 100 count bags of the sizes needed at a local industrial fastener store (much cheaper then Lowes/Home Depot).

That block off kit is nice. I'm about to paint my engine and that would sure be handy.

And I'd love to be able to find that cap kit locally..... I've looked for something similar and haven't been able to find one.
