They are 3/8-16 coarse thread and 1" deep.You will have to find center before drilling.
Most of the older small blocks are drilled and tapped already.My original 75,350 is from a truck and it's done.
A lot of later engines aren't.Probably because the holes weren't needed.

Wow, this ENTIRE thread has been full of great info and pics. Thanks for all of the help guys. I can't tell you how much I appreciate it.

Looks like I get to order some parts tonight after work and start drilling some holes once things show up.
