I have found that "Cowboy from Hell" prettymuch knows anything you would ever need to know about motors. He posted a very long article on how to build a high HP reliable street motor, it included detailed instructions on plugging and drilling oil passages. I looked for the post but could'nt find it. I suggest you contact him and hopefully he will hook you up with all the build info you need.Good luck with your build.
