Is this a drag car, circle track, road race or street app? I wouldnt think a drag car would have as much of an issue...
And are there mods for head gaskets that can aid in head cooling?
The gentleman who I have copied this mod from was a circle track racer but he claims the benefits of this mod applies to all forms of racing engines. The thread is still posted on Mopar chat. Just search for oil and cooling mods by Sanborn. But the cooling through the side of the block is also recommended in the stroker small block book.
It is recommended to improve the cooling system when adding big block cubes to a small block.
I should have also pointed out that part of the reason I am doing this is I am using an early W2 cast iron head which is prone to cracking.
A drag car although running for short duration concentrates most of the heat generation in the heads at the exhaust valves, particularly the two center exhaust valve and has far from even head cooling.
