Eng. rebuild questions
I picked up a motor from a 96 LT1 vette, it was from a car with an auto trans.
Check out this link:

Notice at the bottom it says that the block is drilled and tapped for a clutch linkage. Sounds like I need to do some drilling and tapping. I've never had the engine out of my 93 yet so I can't check to see where to drill and tap. Can anyone shed any light on where I might find info relating to where to drill and tap so I can pop that baby into my 93 ? thanks alot.

The drilled and tapped for clutch linkage would apply to older chevys with the non hydraulic Z-Bar type linkage...
Any newer style (198* +++) GM would have the clutch hydraulics that typically bolt to the bellhousing itself...

Interesting to note, is that they're using LT4 springs in that build, with an 846 cam.
The LT4 spring retainers are discontinued. Last month I got a set from my local chevy dealer, who normally charges out the yingyang for everything, for just $ 20. Springs still available from jegs for about $ 35. the set I received only had 15 springs !! I phoned them and they sent the 16th spring, no problem.

Good thing cheap donor parts from numerous 80's GM cars can be used to convert to hydraulics.
1985 GMC K10 master cyl for example, bolts to most ANY GM firewall (60s, 70s, etc) and has proper rod length.
