This section includes all the small and easily forgotten hardware which is necessary to put an engine together such as keys, plugs, bushings, etc, etc. Make sure you have these small items so your build doesn't get held up unnecessarily.
Freeze Plug Kit - Brass Brass Freeze Plug kit. Includes block plugs, oil galley pipe plugs and cam plug. A nice upgrade from the standard steel kits, brass has much better resistance to corrosion.
Premium Freeze Plug Kit - Stainless Steel Shown here is our Premium Stainless Steel Freeze Plug Kit. . For those who want the best, longest lasting bulletproof option. Most people know that stainless steel has extraordinary resistance to chemicals and corrosion, and looks pretty sharp as well. A rare combination of good looks and functionality.
Drain Cock for side of engine block These drain cocks are designed to be permanently installed into the side of the engine block between the front and the middle freeze plug. They act as an open/close valve, and allow you to drain the coolant neatly and cleanly and make sure the blocks water jackets are fully drained if necessary. Another one of those super hard to find items that you really need for every quality build. Use two per engine, one on each side.
Engine Block Pipe Plug Kit We've put together a convenient kit which includes every single one of the ten pipe plugs you will need for the entire outside of the engine.
Intermediate Shaft Bushing - Bronze - New While replacing your intermediate shaft, don't forget to replace the bushing as well. Our aftermarket bronze bushings are a significant improvement over the factory aluminum units.
Dipstick Plug - Aluminum This is a reproduction of the aluminum dipstick plug the factory used on big block truck applications where the dipstick bolts directly into the rear sump oil pan instead of going though the engine block. It's also useful for any other application where you would want to plug the dipstick hole, such as in dragsters, long term storage, etc. Package includes ONE plug.
Cylinder Head Dowel Pins - Package of 4 - New These are the Dowel Pins that fit into the deck and align the cylinder heads during assembly. These should be replaced whenever the deck is surfaced on a block. Comes in a package of 4. Use one package per engine. Another hard to find necessity. These also work for the timing cover locating dowels. Use an extra 2 pins per engine for this purpose.
Engine Block to Bellhousing Dowel Pins - Set of 2 This is an O.E. Mopar engine block to transmission bellhousing dowel pin set. Fits small blocks, big blocks and Hemi's with both manual and automatic transmissions. These are standard (no offset.) Includes 2 pieces, enough to do one complete engine.

Fuel Pump Pushrod - Bronze Tip for Roller Cams Our new premium BRONZE TIP fuel pump pushrods are designed for use with billet roller cams.

This model features a BRONZE tip, and is designed to be used with 8620 ROLLER CAMSHAFTS ONLY. We carry a different version with steel tips for use with regular iron cams. If you're looking for the best there is in the Big Block Mopar fuel pump pushrod department, this is it. Nothing else on the market has the durability and weight savings of this piece.

These are made from brass, which offers a big upgrade in corrosion resistance from the factory steel plugs.

Used on all big block Mopar engines from their introduction in 1958 until 1962, these conical "discs" are secured in the block by tapping them in the center which causes them to expand. These kits include EVERY plug you will need for the engine, including the engine block, cylinder heads and camshaft plug.
Water Pump Housing Pipe Plug Kit We carry a convenient NPT pipe plug kit, which includes all the pipe plugs which could possibly be needed for a water pump housing.
Water Temp Sending Unit - W/ Gauge - Disc Type We offer water temp sending units for factory and most aftermarket electrical gauges. These fit in the small 1/8" pipe threads on the top drivers side of our aluminum water pump housings, and work with cars which included factory temp gauges. There are two different versions of this sending unit. This one uses a small disc on the top, which a spade connector slips over and locks onto. The other style (listed separately) has a threaded stud which uses an eyelet on the end of the wire, and his held on by a nut. Order the type you need depending on which connector you have on the end of your wiring harness. Another often overlooked part which can be hard to find at times. Don't let these little items hold up your build. These are a premium part, still made in the good old US of A.

Factory Style Heavy Duty Torque Strap Cable Ma Mopar supplied these from the factory on super heavy duty applications such as police cars, etc. This heavy duty cable bolts to the engine block on the top, and the K-member on the bottom, so that if the rubber engine mount (insulator) should fail for any reason, the cable will restrict the engine movement and prevent any damage. With the super powerful stroker setups many of us are now running, installing one of these is a no brainer, no matter what type of engine mounts you are using.
