Hard blok filled b block question/ coolant hose to back of cylinder head.

Here's the plan, I need to get a little better flow between the cylinders so some water can get down to the outer part of the block.
On the driver's side I'm going to install a freeze plug in the return and drill a 9/16 or 5/8 hole instead of the 1.125 .
In my head that will let the cylinder head and block fill enough to push water through the crossover hose in back.
I am going to do the line in -10 an. Better to have enough volume than not enough.
