I think I recall that on these early blocks that besides the clutch ball stud hole going into water that the front 2 lower head bolt holes are not blind like the factory blocks either!

So these need to be sealed off from the coolant also as on a Chevy, and also in water only race motors so the fastener does not rust to the block threads and eat those up when removal time comes about.
