We are in the process of building a 68 396. The FelPro head gasket set that we have states that the block must have 3 lower coolant holes in the block or that they must be added if they are missing. We do not have the 3 lower coolant holes. Can someone shed some light on this as we are hesitant to start drilling holes in the block? Thanks in advance!
