Can't you use the breather holes? That's how I fill my "Corvette" script-cover models.

Well for one reason and another I have had a week out of the shed, but I did continue to spend money on the car !
Time to get back into it, need to give the lifters an oil bath and fit them in,
Next up, clean and fit the pushrods, I have gone with the Compcams magnum chromemolly 7.30" ,
big tip at this stage, make sure the oil pump shaft is engaged into the oil pump, much easier to do this now than when the engine is in the car !

I have ditched the steel roller tips and bought some Compcams 1.6 alloy roller rockers
I did a test fit of the stud girdle but they hit the breather baffle plate, so i will leave them off for now,
I have touched up the intake gaskets to match the ports, and held them in place while i put the RTV silicone on the walls.

Thanks mate !
I have set the rockers and fitted up a new PCV set up, and put the water pump on,
i swapped the engine from the stand to the hoist to fit the flexplate, next problem is the change from 153 to 168 tooth flexplate (forgot about that), starter motor doesnt fit
how silly of me to think i could get thru this week without buying more parts ! 
Looking at a mini starter if anyone has any experience with those ?
