Q: I’m getting ready to build a 406 small-block to put into my Camaro. My question is about the use of block filler. I’ve read that if you fill the block to the bottom of the freeze plug openings, that it will increase the cooling ability because this limits water flow to the oil pan

Ford recently announced plans to eliminate the majority of its passenger car offerings from its lineup so it can focus production capabilities on better-selling SUVs, trucks, and crossover vehicles.
