Hi OLAF I have an Shelby all alum. motor and it only holds 1 gallon of coolant. I was told that the iron blocks will hold 1 1/2 gallons of coolant. I have the edelbrock waterpump, march pulley, alum. radiator, 3 fans that came with the ERA car. I run a 180 thermostat. On a hot day the motor runs 200F racing. The march pulleys are underdrived 30%. I have now had a problem with it yet. 1/4 mile racers fill blocks to help stablize blocks but they run for 5 minutes at a time and are cooled off after a run. I would drill out what you can and try it. DON'T hit the cylinder walls with the bit. any kind of water flow will help. Good luck. Rick Lake
