my oil feed goes into the side of the block in between the passengers side engine mount all the others are the same as michael a's.ive also seen people put a T piece on the oil line for the vacuum pump on the back of the alternator .

Thanks heaps for that.. Much appreciated..
Just one more question.. Can you be a bit more specific with the water return into the engine block.. Where exactly does it go??
Cheers..

on the passenger side at the back of the block (near the bellhousing) there should be a provision to plumb up the water return its near the little alloy thingy(dont know what its called sorry
)

All good got it sorted today.. Had an interesting result when I undid the plug, radiator fluid everywhere.. Now before you say it, I did drain the system as best I could from radiator hoses but it still dumped a fair bit from the block..
O well its all fun

Thats because its the block coolant drain plug. Draining coolant from rad houses is only about 4litres, but the block plug throws the other 8 or 9 litres on the ground.
