Puzzling problem - please read!
Even if you had read a Helms, that certainly doesn't mean he would have realized the rear oil galley plug was non-existent. That's one of those things you learn to look for from experience, which his happening now. Someone with experience in building/installing engines would have most likely known to look for it, but he didn't choose that route. The end. That's not something easily figured out from doing this kinda thing on your own. I can be fairly certain in that if I posted a poll for everyone on here on what steps are necessary for an engine swap, only a small fraction would know/mention the issue with the galley plug.

well folks, I went and pulled the oil plug out of my old motor. looks like its in good condition, o ring isnt torn or anything so im just gonna re-use it unless the one fraser is supposedly shipping gets here by tomorrow afternoon; otherwise im gonna start dropping it down to plug it up. anyhow, heres some pics from the "final" moments before start up.
are you using both your stock hood struts on the Fiberglass WS6 hood??? I am only using one.. Is is ok to use both.. Any problems yet?
Hope getting the oil plug in the galley will not be too dificult..
Glad i was able to help... can not wait to see what youy dyno

well i need a hood latch and loop before i go anywhere with it.
I always thought that the oil plug was ONLY on the 98 cars and after 98 they ditched those entirely.
**oops almost forgot yea- those are stocker hood struts, they will do for now they arent high on my list of priorities.

uhhmmm there are a few out there that dont have as much pressure but I haven't looked into them any. My next 2 things are
1) hood latch n loop
2) dyno tune
prolly wont be able to do a dyno tune for a while just yet. my birthday is the 25th so im hoping ill get the money i need for it then.

Hey Tainted, send me that Camaro HVAC **** and I'll send you one Trans Am HVAC ****. I've got the three Camaro ***** in the HVAC but still got one Trans Am **** for the Headlights. I think I may have two if you need the other one. PM me!

so a quick question for the crowd.
we know now that this rear plug is out, but looking at the pictures. wouldnt the rear cover block that hole, or is there just enough room for all the oil to spill out?
