I've wondered about the water jackets in the IAII blocks. Having read about folks filling their O.E. Blocks to varying levels, then listening to all kinds of feedback as to how well their engines cooled after performing this modification.
I've even read once where someone fill a IAII block in an extreme HP engine.
I have read where a lot of the lower water jacket is wasted cooling space...
I know that the bulk of the heat generated comes from the upper area of the cylinder. Maybe the factory engineers got it right, for a reason?
I like the 1/4" pipe holes in SBC engines, they drain a lot faster...

Johnny, have you heard anything about a Pontiac event in Tulsa the his year?
