well, it's $53 for enough to do a SB Chevy. so i should be able to do 2 D16 (or close to it). well, like you said T.O.O. says the main thrust point is about 2 inches down, soooooooo, if you where to fill with salt up to 3 inches below the deck, and poor in a 2 inch layer, you should have good protection. just take a drill and drill holes around the guard and you shouldn't really see much cooling effect, since the top 2 inches would still be full of water. hhhmmm....

 

Yup, I say go for it, take some pics when you do it.

and when you do it theirs a nice 19mm bolt off the front of the block to drain all the salt out of, just flush that ---- out good.

would you have to drill coolant holes through that stuff?

 

yup.. as you can see in the pics above thats what bob kennedy did.

 

yup that is what the dodge boys are doing too. my welder dodge boy told me to do that i look at him and said you are crazy but he convince me. anyway what size holes for the waterjacket to drill. but he told me to fill it half way are you guys talk about fill up all the way.

 

im gonna be running 10-14 psi street and 20 maybe 22 strip i ve got eagle rods and je pistons. i guess im gonna go try to fill the block from 3 inches below the top to 1 inch from the top and see what happens
now i should have to worry bout that epoxy stuff falling down and messing up the pump and rad. right

 

heres another ideal what it be a good ideal to tap the block guard down 2 inches below the top and then tap weld it in spots instead of the epoxy

 

so you mix the epoxy with salt and throw it down there? i still don't get it, anyone want to show me some pics?

here is a pic from me to you

it blew @ 3/4th of the qaurter mile. 11.8 SEC PASS couldof been 10.99

Basically fill the bottom of the sleeve with about 3-4 inchs of SALT. (level it out)

Then pour your epoxy (block fill ----) the epoxy wont go all the way to the bottom of the coolant jacket, let it dry, drill the holes, and drain the out.. get it?

 

i GETTTTTTTTT...thanks alot for the info.
