360 Specs/Clearances Info
Putting my 74 360 together got all my freeze plugs in and oil galley plugs except the one under the rear main cap as my kit did't come with it (not happy)
So the oil galley plugs are
2 in front behind cam plate
1 under oil filter plate
1 inside near dist bushing
3 in rear
1 under #5 main cap
Also does anyone know the factory specs for oil clearance for Mains & Rods?
Getting plastigage tomorrow to check.

Mike.... Sounds like you getting ready to get the short block screwed together?
Double check and make sure you got all the holes plugged...
What Piston Rings are you going to run?

Run a wire down oil pressure sender hole. If it stops, the plug is in. Very few shops knock it out.

I've must of been tired last night I looked again and in fact it is still in there like you said I used a zip tie in the oil psi hole and measured at 7 1/2" so it's in.
On another note my cam retainer plate never had 1 of the bolts drilled for oil to leak from the lifter valley to the timing chain. I got a spare bolt I should be able to just drill say a 3/32 hole and be good?
