    So I am adding a 225 V6 odd fire to my 65 CJ. Since it did not come with that option that year, its a lot of conversion work. The engine is rebuilt and ready to stab, but I am still scratching my head on some holes in the block. I just dont know what they are for, and do not know the original application for this particular block. I am guessing most just need plugged but I dont know. Thank you for the help!
    #1 Threaded hole just above exhaust port on the head. 1 near each exhaust port. Not the bolt holes for manifold.
    #2 Two holes on passenger side of block near freeze plugs
    #3 Hole on drivers side of block near freeze plugs

    11/10 - Added better picture of #3. Its just to the right of the dipstick hole on the drivers side

    # 1 looks like air injection ports in the head for emissions. You can plug them off. # 3 looks like probably hole for dipstick tube.

    #2 to the right maybe oil pressure sender/gauge port but hard to tell from my phone.
