Message	I recently completed installing my SGP Motor. I got their longblock package with a core swap from my first Z. When I started the car the first time I got no Oil pressure. The car ran about 10 seconds before I shut it off. When I looked under the car, almost all of the oil had been pumped out of the engine. The reason is the machine shop left out the plug that is just behind the Oil Filter Fitting on the block. I never knew this plug was there. SGP mailed the plug to me. I ended up drilling a hole in the inner fender and using two 1/4" ratchet extensions to hammer the plug into place from the wheel opening. Yours is probably OK, but I would check this before installing the engine.
