Attended the Antique Auto Mushers Fur Rondezvous Car show this past weekend and decided I needed a block heater for attending next year and participating in the parade as well (this year it was minus 15F and some of the guys and gals drove open top vehicles brrrrr ) Which also reminds me I need to get my heater painted and installed, too.

Anyway I bought a Kat's 600W core plug heater and got it installed today. The same heater should fit any stovebolt 6 cyl engine.

Drilled the core plug and popped it out with a slide hammer

Final install - easier before reinstalling the engine

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
