I had to drill it out Its approx 70 percent open at this point. Made sure nothing got into the valley and used the vacume anyways.

all I need now in the intake gaskets, valve cover gaskets, new fuel pump and thermostat and its mostly ready to go.

Now, I just need to repair the radiator support and install and I can get these painted fenders off of the ground

Lots of days work left.

thanks
