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?
Have not heard anything about any Pontiac race in Tulsa. I am not a member of the club that used to put it on but I would think they aren't going to do it...
