Re: Water jacket filled Big Block?
------Rick,,,Red Alerts big motor was hard-blocked half way up because it was a hundred over. With the electric water pump switch on you couldnt get that "14 to 1" compression motor to overheat. As was stated above the heat is primarily in the top of the motor.........Bill S

Re: Water jacket filled Big Block?
Thanks for the responses guys. I had figured it would be ok but wanted to get a little input from anyone that has dealt with it before. I appreciate the input and feel more comfortable using it now.

Re: Water jacket filled Big Block?
As Bill said, Red Alert runs a filled block, high compression, a stock water pump, and have had no heating problems.
Well, just when I do a long burnout and toss the belt.
