well, i think i am done drilling holes in the block now! LOL

i drilled it out for, plug wires, heater hoses, waterpump bypass hose, vacuum lines for the valve cover breathers, one goes to the carb, and the other to the air cleaner, i drilled the vac line for the brake booster as well.....maybe a little too much, but i always go overboard with engine detail........

oh, i almost forgot, i have to drill out the carb for vac lines, and the fuel pump as well!!.....ooops almost missed them!

its almost time to shoot some paint on it.....

stay tuned, pics coming.
