Block is back from Nikasil coating started to assemble the girdle and kept having this nagging feeling something was wrong DUH!!! NO OIL GALLEY PLUGS!!!!!

I need to confirm the location? There are three plugs?
1. near #1 cylinder in block (see attached)
2. #2 Clutch side of block?
3. #3 front near water pump?

Is it acceptable to have them tapped and pluged?

thanks.....

That's them. I just got my block back, and the machine shop was able to tap the hole at the back of the block and by the #1 cylinder. They said that the front hole would require machining the plug, and thus recommended running the factory plug. I plan to stake the factory plug and hope for the best.
