BTW, I opened up the front Head gasket deck passages (as I mentioned in the other thread Here:)
https://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/show...e=0#Post7509964More flow means more power...but it also means more heat, and I never really cared for Ma's OEM thought process of routing all the cooling water through the block first and then to the heads. People may debate this HG mod but to me it makes a lot of sense, especially with aluminum heads to get the cooler water to the heads as well as the block straight of the pump discharge. The trade off on the street is it takes longer for the motor to heat up, but on a stroker you're also building power (and with it heat) sooner, I don't know if I'd do it in a Minnesota street daily driver but down here in a NC bracket car it works fine.
I'm debating whether to mod my Victor to allow for the rear cooling lines, the pass side is a real PITA to mill flat.
