Default broken fitting in block

Ok, I was just finishing up my motor this weekend to get it started up. I just installed the endyn breather kit. One of the plugs that needed to be removed is very close to the oil feed line. Well in the process of removing the plug, the oil fitting sheared off in the back of the block. How have you guys dealt with this before. Would I possibly be able to plug that hole and just use an oil filter sandwich adapter instead? I have spent a TON of time getting this motor back together and I honestly do not feel like pulling it apart again just because of this lousy fitting. You guys got any opinions?

i know its very tight back there but you can always try an "easy out" tool, you can find them at Sears.

And yet for some reason people still insist that it is ok to have there oil lines setup like this
I run an oil distribution block (homemade from lowes) on my firewall
That is the way to go

Yes, I run an oil dist block too, but you have to tap the oil from somewhere... I never said it was tee'd at the block. Does the easy out tool require drilling? I am not familiar with this tool...

No it does not! Did you use an NPT fitting?

The ez-out looks like a drill bit/punch. You hammer it into the broken fitting, then simply unscrew it. It works, trust me. Just be careful.

Anyone know what size ez-out tool I will need to purchase to do this. The auto-parts guy told me that he has them in several different sizes.

its a broken bolt extractor, for lack of a better term

hammer it in then twist with a wrench. the more you turn the harder it bites into whatever you're removing.
