A hole for the dist and thread the rear coolant passages each side for fittings.
The dist hole position is not that crucial because the dist is supported in the block itself ; it is more to do with oil leaks. Some have just made a template off a stock intake and used that to transpose position onto the LT1 for drilling.
Started on mine but got good deal on a MR so didn't finish.I welded a alum block where the dist hole should be and was going to get it machined to the correct angle so I didn't need the angled spacer.Also gave more "meat" to thread in the hold down bolt.
