Re: unlocking pistons?
If it is anything like an early hemi, there should be one in front of the distributor (inside block) for cleaning out the oil galley in the lifter valley. I will try to locate a poly and have a look.( may even be one under one of the bigger plugs removed from the rear or under a freeze plug in the front or rear of the block.)

Hi David
There are 4 the same size, and 1 bigger plug, these have a female square hole for a rachet or some sort of a square bar to fit into.(smaller than 3/8 but bigger than a 1/4 inch drive rachet?
Now I have fitted the 1 bigger plug and 2 smaller plugs into the back of the block (where the flywheel goes). 

The other 2, I cant find anything with a thread to screw them into.
I must add that the block also has 2 very small different type of plugs next to the engine mounts (1 each side), but as I say, they are very small and are already in the block, I think they are water valleys? These 2 plugs are not the problem, and they can be screwed in with a shifter or spanner.
So I have 2 screw in plugs that are of the female type to find a home for....lol 

Thank's
Jim

What size are these plugs? Are all 5 the same size? Might they be ¼” NPT pipe thread? Don’t know for sure but might there be ¼” NPT threaded holes, one on each side of the block into the water passages? Some folks put petcocks in there. Like Chebbies? > To: 1962to1965mopars@xxxxxxxxxx

Yeah, I am new to Mopar power, I have built a few Clevos, but this plug
situation has me stumped too.
I did not bother checking this before the block and crank were sent out, as 
I did not think this was going to happen???????

I have a few other ideas, and maybe contact the machinest and see if he
remembers where they went?
I have had the block back for about 6 weeks now.

Thanks anyway
Jim
