Interesting water jackets
I have the old 400 short block I am going to freshen I used under my RAIV heads in NMCA for a lot of racing, been on a cradle for a long time. I pulled the heads but there was still coolant in the block. Engine stand has a slight tilt to the back. Suctioned out(syringe an a 12 French feeding tube/urinary catheter form the lowest middle cylinders until getting some air. More from the very rear lower hole, but surprisingly a bunch more from the very front lower hole! you would think it would flow through the block better than that.
557 block so will get the mains magged and throw some speedmaster heads on it to toss the motor in the 65 GTO in place of the very tired and misfiring original motor that has no exhaust. Going to toss in an old Muncie and 12 bolt to "Roadkill" drive it until I get it painted.
