I did the same thing on my 318 that I am rebuilding. Great job.
Thank you.

Putting in oil galley plugs and freeze plugs. Any helpful suggestions or tips?

Thank you for putting together this for us! It's great!
 
Krazykuda Thanks so much! This is awesome and super useful info that is hard to find in one place. I appreciate the countless hours of expertise that has gone into and all the time invested in sharing this info!

Wanted to add a note that may or may not be trivial for other members- made my heart skip a beat so thought I would just put it out there.

I was looking up the info for my car on the chart you included: VEHICLE ID PLATE INTERPRETATION and while reading the ENGINE DISPLACEMENT section I an anxious moment...
The chart shows my car's vin decoded as a "400 4Bbl Highperf (68-78)" -it has a "P" in the fifth place of the vin.
Since I believed I had a 1968 Plymouth with a 340 4Bbl Highperf. ... So, either something was wrong with my vin tag or the chart- or just maybe I had a unicorn on my hands?...lol.
I did a cross check with an original 1968 Plymouth Service Manual and on page 2 confirmed the "P" in the vin's fifth digit is indeed a 340.

Attaching a photo of the 1968 Plymouth Service Manual Vin Chart for ref.
