355 nearly there....

I got to spend a little more time putting the finishing touches on my engine this weekend, I'd say it is about 95% complete now. I am just waiting on TK to knock me up one of his fancy oil pumps, my ignition box and coil to arrive from the US and I still need to sort out some extractors. I've spoken with Bill Hanson and I am keen to get up to Adelaide soon to get this thing on his dyno, he's quoted me $1100 for the day and is pretty confident we can knock it off in that time. I am thinking I might just borrow a set of extractors from someone for the time being so that I can use my pennies to put towards the dyno time. Here is a pic of what she looks like ....

Few questions - The TP manifold has quite a few threaded holes for fittings in the water ports. If I am just wanting to get the cooling system up and running, do I need only to fit a barb into one of these holes and run a hose from my water pump to this? Then could I just block the other spigot off at the water pump and put blanks in all the other threaded holes in the manifold? Anyone know what thread size these fittings would need to be?

For crankcase ventilation I was planning on running one of the rocker cover fittings to the vacuum reference beneath the carby and the other to a fitting underneath the air cleaner. Will this do the trick?

Cheers,
Matt
