Re: Block heater install

[audistuff@juno.com (Paul R Anderson)]

No, 

It will probably require removing the alternator and front motor mount.
Then you'll have to modify the backside of the mount to give clearance
for the cord.  Then
the awkward angle and the fact that the casting is not really smooth make

plug removal a little less than simple.  Then it may require knocking
some
casting slag off the inside of the hole to get the heater to go into the
hole.

Other than that, it's simple.  These notes are from my recent experience
installing a frost plug heater in my 88 5kcst.  The N/A engines are much
easier to do
this on.

Good luck.
