L33 assembly questions... First LS build.....
Got my cam in, and timed, cam retainer plate tightened down along with the cam gear, is the next step to install the oil pump?
I have an extra screw in plug but I am not sure where it goes? Does it go ontop of the motor behind the intake valley cover? I had to install a new freeze plug thing on the front of the motor as my block didn't come with one in it...
Also do I need to use the stock intake valley covers or I can just do a flat one? I'm doing a turbo on it swapped into a mustang, what all sensors are needed for this thing to run?
Thanks.

Yes oil pump is next.
No sure what screw your talking about ?
The 2 bosses in the middle of the valley are Knock sensors, the hole in the center of the block in the back is the Cam sensor, and too the driver side is the Oil pressure sending unit.
You can use a flat valley cover or you can do a LS6 cover with the added PCV pipe.

Middle picture, that plug with the Allen head on it. I have an extra one and I am not sure where it goes?
I got my motor already torn down and cleaned with a box of bolts and little parts, so I'm trying to peice everything back together

Here the pass side of the block, there is another plug where the green arrow is.

Here is the driver side, the plug in the front is the one in your pic. Then there is the big coolant plug and another small plug in the back of the block...

Also don't forget the oil "barbell" in the back of the block behind the rear main cover.
