    What holes do you have to drill? if you put the s2 heads and manifolds on there isnt any drilling needed, but if you use the s1 heads and put the s2 manifold on you will need to drill a hole in each head.

    ah ok, nah its 1 hole per head. in s1, if you are drilling the hole, just get the manifold gasket and use it as a template you will see where you have to drill the hole. then just hook all the water pipes up like normal s2 and should be good.
