Well as you can see , i got the motor off of the stand and ready to go in. I wanted to use the same oil lines for the charger so I had to drill the block for the return line. This is very easy , but would be much better if the block is empty. What i did was push a rag up in the block between the crank and inside wall right where I was going to be drilling. The hole that you want to use is to the left of the dipstick. The hole is already threaded to accept the oil line , but jsut needs to be drilled all the way through. If you look at the first picture , you can see the oil retun line hanging there. When drilling it , keep the bit lubed up good , and drill slow . The drill bit will get stick jsut as it is going to go through , so take it out and lub it up again , then complete the drill , it will spin into the rage , just make sure you clean out the whole good and look up into the block to make sure you dont have any metal shavings in there after cleaning.
Next you see a stcok flywheel and one that i had turned and lightened. There is a lot of meat that can come off these things as you can see. You want to make sure that you replace the 6 flywheel bolts with new ones as the old ones are not to be reused. I took another picture of my 4 puck clutch. A stock clutch can handle more then you think, but if plan on having over 200 hp , then it is a good idea to step it up with something alittle better.
Last is the flywheel bolted up, to do this i put a breaker bar on the crank nut and held it in place with one foot and the floor. ( this holds the crank from turing while tighting down the bolts )
