Partially filled block with Boost?
Anyone currently using a partially filled block and running boost as well? My 383 is filled to the bottom of the freeze plugs and will have an F1C procharger on it (boost undecided) I was just wondering how hot it may run? I will be using an air to water intercooler...

Re: Partially filled block with Boost?
I just talked to an area machine shop and he suggested a partial fill also. He says it's fine for the street. He seems to think it helps cooling because it keeps more coolant around the cumbustion chambers. He also added that aftermarket blocks use more iron/less coolant in the area you fill. Just some thoughts, what do you guys think?
