few questions; engine related.
 

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.

Could've swore that the nipple was crushed and mamed, will have to check later.
