few questions; engine related.

[Silver86]

oil filler neck:
can that be removed from the iron and replaced?
there was some custom work done to it and would like for a stock-ish looking engine bay when im finished.

rear iron:
the coolant nipple that goes to the heater core, can that be removed and replaced?
it was sealed off by the previous owner.


or... am i better off looking for new irons and having someone re-port them?

both are pressed in, thought the coolant nipple will probably be rather hard to remove. The oil pedestal can be removed by tapping with a hammer/block/whatever from the bottom.

Was the nipple crushed shut or just sealed with jbweld or something? If you are careful you could maybe drill through it, etc.
