Why would you put some block filler crap like that in an aluminum block (that historically over cools) except to falsely assume that you were making the block stronger?
Great write-up

Exactly! I would have never filled this thing in the first place.
So we used some regular block filler in the one side to try to duplicate the other. I guess this block was in a 7 or 8 second car at one time, which I'm guessing, is why it was filled in the first place.
