Hi Paul,

What is a good way to plug the the two primary injector holes in the
center housing.
I do not want any fuel on the hot side of the engine.
I think Tracy mentionned how to do that once but I forgot.

Find a large pipe tap about the right size and tap it for a pipe plug.
The holes are about 11/16 th. Another way is machine a couple of
aluminum plugs and hammer or press fit them in.
The cast iron rib between the plugs can be drilled and taped
with a 10-32 screw to hold a retaining clip.

Stuff some paper in the ports and fill the holes with JB Weld :)

Is there a way to run the pipe tap in and still remove the shavings without
disassembing the engine?

Stuff the holes with rags and use a magnet to get the shavings out from the 
top. Also light a candle and pour the hot wax in the hole forming a plug
in the bottom.
