LO3 build (could use some help)

I have tons of questions

First,I pulled the intake just now,and I need to drill the bosses for the hold down,

What size bit and tap should I use?

How deep should I drill?

I want to use factory hardware (that I don't have yet)

Edit: I would use a spider and a center punch to mark the holes centerline before drilling

I would strongly suggest that you have the drilling done at a machine shop. there will be issues that arise that you MAY not care to get into. not saying that it cant be done in your garage. but why risk it?
