Original plugs have a cross slot. I changed to plugs with a recessed hex (they take an allen wrench).
Oh yeah, be sure the camshaft bearings are removed before they hot tank the block.
When you get the block back, I recommend you change some of the original fasteners from bolts to studs with nuts. I've done this at the water jacket cover plate, the tappet cover plate, and the carb attachment to the manifold.

ok that makes sense!
What is the best way to get the cam bearings out? Piece of wood the same diameter and gently tapping with a mallet?
I like the hex plugs idea!
I was thinking about that for the water jacket cover plate, but will do it for the others as well.
