I stopped at the machine shop and worked on the top for a while today. I needed to drill, tap, and install helicoils for the carb studs before milling out the center of the carb openings. It's good thing we don't plan on using it that way. The 5/16" holes that I assume were drilled for helicoils (or to be tapped 5/16-18) were not even close. I could have done better in the field with a cordless drill, hole saw, and a carb gasket. 
 I would not want my assembled engine setting in all of that machine shop dust...

That one is a dyno mule or something like that. I asked same question a while back. Come to think of it that may have been in the back of the plow truck for weight...
