If you are oiling through the rocker shafts, tap the oil holes in the heads for a standard Holley jet, and start with .060 jets. The bushings being .060 is fine. What heads?

The World wedge iron blocks have a .040 or .039 restrictor in the block oiling passage to the rockers It wouldn't suprise me that the aluminum blocks do to

They don't come with the block, they go in the holes in the rocker stands in the head. I don't think you'll need them with B1/BS. As far as I know, they drain back well without hoses and you won't have too much oil up top.

FWIW my World Aluminum Hemi block came with the block plugs , but they were not drilled.
I went with .040" for the Hemi.

I have a hemi block and a wedge block, they are totally different. The hemi block comes with lifter bore to be moved where ever you want them to square up the pushrod angle. The wedges don't. They even look a lot beefier than the wedges. I used a .060 in the wedge. Also, be sure to check the bushing size...mine needed replacing.

Check the oil passage in the blcock to the heads, my allen head screw in restrictors where in there down near the oil galley passage through the lifter bores, not up near the deck

We run a .070 oil restrictor in our block on our BS heads. T&D rockers for 8 years with no problems. Stock block.
