I have a friend who has recently purchased a Nationally known Drag Racers inventory of 427 engines with a large inventory of exotic parts. Of the dozen or so engines blocks he bought a few of the blocks have had CEMENT POURED INTO THE WATER PORTS ABOUT HALF WAY UP THE CYLINDER WALL. Has anyone ever heard of this before? Randy tells me the cement provides stability around the cylinders and that it still allows coolant to move through the block.

I have never heard of such a thing. Are these blocks boat anchors now?
