Since someone owned up to it first.............. A smallblock would take a little longer, but I'd make something out of wood or plastic and keep cutting it down until it fits. You could even use a gasket for sealing. For a big block..........I just hammer a strip of wood against the studs to mark where to drill the holes and it's done.

Photobucket sucks

I don't but you could then put small paper towel or rags to keep crud out of exhaust if it is a concerne. Keeps intake sealed as well tape that off. Seems to simple to me. I have mechanical Aptitude. I can screw up anything.
