Help needed! New/used intake
Hello i have recentally bought a new to me used aluminum intake and the bypass tube nipple is missing 
. Its the one that goes to the water pump. I believe it is a press in fitting? The hole doesnt seem to be threaded. ANy help on how to fix this problem would be very appreciated. I would like to be start the motor up this weekend. TIA

What do you mean by "get the flywheel balanced " ? If your big block is internal balanced then the flywheel doesn't get balanced. If it's external balanced then the flywheel is balanced with the crank as a unit.
