Can you elaborate on this, pics, how to, etc? I used the search feature and didn't find anything.

Anything I can do to keep the Poncho running cool, I'm down for it.

Thanks, Gary

My thanks to Steve Barcak for previous photos posted elsewhere on this site; I used his cooling suggestions when I built the engine for my Father-In-Law's Firebird. Photo from FIL's engine:



From what I could see through the coolant passage holes in the heads I used, drilling the extra hole in the block deck and head casting was a waste of time. The cylinder head coolant passage where I drilled the hole was already getting water from other, nearby holes. Perhaps not all heads are cast like that, though.
