Re: 400 Block
for the oil gally holes, probably was a racing motor at some point in time and they were plugged so the oil would drain down the back of the block and the front, though the time chain, elimantin drain back on the cam and rotating assembly for less windage which equal more horse power. As for the steam holes being plugged, I have no idea. eberything i've read and heard says if you dont have those opened, they'll over heat like crazy. Chris.
