i am no expert, but if you hit it with a punch and knocked a hole in it, you could thread a screw in it and pop it out. or punch a hole in it and pry it out with a screw driver.

Buddy, there is a hole already there. You just have to push out the plug. Its in the block behind the motor mount. I used a punch and a magnet. Be careful not to drop the plug into the pan. Then you have to lift the motor and drop the pan. The HT3b and the 40 works great, I'm supprised on how well these big turbos spool. Mine works as well as my 35Y did or even better. The EGT's are down from the 35Y. When the 3B starts to fires, man shes a sweet ride. You can feel the in your seat of your pants. At 30lbs of boost, my truck smokes less and has more power than my 35 did.

Don't mean to hijack, but anyone ever added a second drain to one that didn't have the factory drain...I need to do mine in a short while, and need to know if there is a special way or trick or fitting I can use.
Thanks A Bunch,

Use a slide hammer with a seal extracter on the end of it. For ones that dont have a drain you cut a hole in the pan close to the upper rail but not to close. Then you build a weld in bung with a eyebrow to deflect the oil off the crank towards the sump. Weld and cool to prevent a gasket failure. Some people refer to it as stitch welding. Hope this info helps.............Brad

ponci gave great advice signature600. i have built a set for my 12 valver and that is what i had to do. be sure to drain the oil pan a couple times so no metal shavings get in the oil. this time around will be much easier thanks to the extra oil return bung!! thanks everybody!!

600... you can also take the fractory pipe out.. (out of the block) and weld on another fitting to the existing piece.. and make a Y... This will depend on how low you mount the big charger..
You will need a little more angle than this one.. (don't mind the bubble gum welding, it was a late night..) This was for an early engine without the double bung holes..

Where are you guys getting the extra feed line? Right off the top of the OF mount? Or just "y'ing" the OE line to two?
JDGnut, won't that Y restrict the flow? I've always heard that the return oil's quite foamy and hence the big line on the bottom to keep flow going.

I don't think the Y return is a good idea. I don't have anything that proves it, but I suspect the stock return line is just big enough to support a single charger. I do know high restriction in the return line leads to premature turbo seal failure.
