Freezing temperatures - water in engine

Most small blocks that I have seen that froze and busted, were cracked in the lifter galley about halfway up to the deck.

Ding ding ding, I have a 69 340 Swinger that occasionally I would street race it in the late 70's, well one night it put a pushrod thru the rocker arm, I limped it home & let it sit in the garage & forgot about it. It had only water in it (OHIO) Like mentioned above they crack in the lifter galley. I still kick myself to this day for not having A/F in it!
