SB Chevy - Dry sump to wet sump

[mwdenman]

New to the site so please be patient. I am currently building up a small block that was previously an oval track dry sump engine and we are building it for a little street hot rod. My question is about the three oil galleys behind the timing chain, they are currently plugged. Do they need to be unplugged?

Nope. Those are just the end plugs for drilling the 3 oil galleys when the block is machined....... Easy way to check if oil is going everywhere is with the bare block, shoot air into it where the main oil galley is under the oil pump, then check to make sure air is coming out everywhere it should be....
