I haven’t, but working on this, and your suggestion I’ll keep my ears open. :)

Update…core/freeze plugs from Hemi hot heads work great with the lip style block(see previous post). On another note, if you order from Napa, part number RAY2441055 starter(it is a remanufactered), it is the same configuration, relay and style. The only thing needed is to change the front snout...

New Core/freeze plugs got here. These things are nice! Will report back when installed.

Thank You, The pad stamps don’t show up up well on a picture as yours do. But I can make up P41 and 1030. As was conveyed to me, it’s a 1960 413, assembly October 30 1959. Here’s the picture I posted prior of the block casting.

Ok, update. Disc plugs out. THANK YOU 413 for the information, way easier with that major piece of the equation, didn’t have to pull the engine. LOL. For my next question, has anyone used these from Hemi Hot Heads, and if so what’s your thoughts? I like the simplicity of them, I like that if...

Whoa, good info! Thank You. After trying to get the first out I stopped and decided I’d pull the engine. But what I was fighting this makes perfect sense. Thank You Again.

Annnnd the engine is coming out. Freeze plugs are leaking (steel) and I can’t get a good hit to pop them. One partially came out. But the “skirt” is still in the block. Play with engines, Car or Boat it will be fun they said LOL Can’t seem to upload a video from my phone of it running. Will see...

LOL, ok I get it now. I appreciate the knowledge and Education. I’m 51 years old, been a gear head since I was 10 with my father, albeit mostly Chevrolet and Ford. Myself, I want to learn something new every day, not just Motörhead stuff. Being on here I’m adding a wealth of knowledge. Not just...

Sorry about that, I did preface acknowledging that the site was about cars. I had just hit a wall trying to figure out what was up, and what car engine was in this boat. I didn’t mean to muddy up the forums, just searching it seemed there were very knowledgeable people here that may be able to...

Definitely a concern. Luckily this is open air every where and gives less chance of explosion, but still, anything can happen. Old wood Chris Crafts are bad ***!

No problem, I take all information that has been provided and lets me be more knowledgeable about the correct direction. The starter mounts just as it would in a car. Here’s some other pictures. I took last night. I really Appreciate everyone’s input. Thank You all. James

Cool Thank You.

You might be on to something with the stick comment. Looking as best I can through to hole in the bellhousing, the flywheel appears to be a thick one instead of a thin flex plate that you would bolt a converter to. It is Steel as well.

Nothing yet, although I do have a friend with a Plymouth Belvedere with an all Aluminum Hemi, just have to figure out a hitch

Is the stamping on the mounting flange mean anything? It’s G1889477
