I'm assuming so, but I hate to assume...
Is a 426 3-3.5 or 4 go in these holes under the tank skin?
I don't see the callout anywhere in the plans.

I put rivets in mine, I think this is one of those things where Van's plans get a little vague. Be prepared for more gray matter areas as the project progresses

Ditto - riveted 'em a few weeks ago.
There is mention of these somewhere on DC's site. No mention or callout in the plans, but I c'sunk and riveted them.

Yes!
NOWHERE in the plans does it EVER say to install them, either!!!
Just do it now.
Nothing else attaches there.
