Those racecar shops must have special short taps for threading. I went back to the brass cup plugs and put my "tricking out" expertise to use somewhere else.

The video above talks about shortening a tap , I have done that but not on something that big.
Mcmaster lists a tap for shallow holes so they do make them , they just are not cheap.

The nut does stick out some... but to be honest I havent ever had one hit the starter.. I do use the mini Chrysler production starter

What color of permatex do you use?
I have a robbmc starter, so hopefully it clears.

On a stock RB block, who has done it?
Any links to the plugs? Ive been told they need to be a shallow plug to keep from bottoming on the cylinders?
1.25 npt tap?
Thanks for any help.
This is what I use on some of my blocks that have had issues... never had one of these come out... I put Permitex on it and tighten it up
Mr P what is the name of the company that makes the freeze plug with the nut in the center?

My alum SB's are not pipe thread, not sure of thread size, use a standard thread with o ring plug.
Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.
