i have used these rivets  use a rag and a hammer
  and a dolly rag over the part that is to be visible
  and preferably a body hammer because of the  large

 It's a threaded plug with four sides.  As already mentioned you would need
 an 8 sided socket (9/16 ?) and would trust this method over an open end
 wrench since it is not moving.  Try some penetrating oil then heat.  Work
 it back and forth.  Once off, the trans lube should be level with the
 bottom of the fill hole.  When reinstalling marginal tight is good enough.

 can't figure out if
 it's a press in plug or a bolt in.  The cover looks similar to a nut but
 with a stem on it.  Neither
 fits a bolt and with a vise grip using moderate pressure it didn't move.

 2 1/4 headers are way too big for a 427. My choice would be some 1 7/8
 Sanderson intermediates,if you want something that will give maximum ground
 clearance. Don't understand why you don't want stainless headers,as it seems
 like funds aren't a problem. Stainless Works can build you a pair of 1
 3/4,1 7/8,or 2 tubes that will tuck up tightly for around $600. Heck,a
 pair of Sandersons will cost over $500.
 As for a radiator choice,my first pick would a Ron Davis set-up with dual
 electric fans.
