Yessir. They're filled to the deck. If this one doesn't scatter in the next year I'm going to go big and buy a full billet carrol carter block that doesn't have water jackets. But they're $6800.
my motor used to run on injected methanol with an unfilled block with water (didn't know better) the "temperature" reaches right around 225* before launch and gets to about 160 by the end of the pass because of the properties of methanol. Now with a filled block i can only read cylinder temps. Cylinder temps hit an average on 960* and melting point is 1170 (found out last year)
i have a 358 Small block that runs on alcohol, but not nearly as powerfull as your motor.
alcohol is sweet shit, i never had to run a fan on the motor.

Hahaha love it!
I love not having to run a radiator, water pump, fans. Saves SO much space!
my biggest issue lately is harmonic balancers, my class only lets you run a certain part number and i keep blowing them appart.
We had that problem on my moms car. Kept breaking the outer ring on the balancer.
We finally changed over to a different one.
Im glad I don't have to run a balancer, plus, it sure is cool to watch the blower belt suck up the harmonics of a motor.
So this for the silvy, right? I don't know how you'll see around it when driving.
:crazy:
Looks sweet man

Same way I do in the race truck. Look to the guard rail. If you haven't hit it, you're GOLD
I can see over it... :fp:
We have a nova here though that has a serious problem with not seeing the tree from the left lane.
Got it dropped in tonight.
Need to change a couple fuel lines, get a new pilot bushing, flow the barrel valve and then fire her up.

Can't remember exact numbers but I think it's dropped 5" and moved back nearly 8" to help with weight transfer.
Too* :boo5ted:
Well... I wanted it to go fast, so I built a ford. Hence why I built the silverado for low and slow, since that seems to be all they're good for.
