Hardest part is keeping V belts on when the nitrous hits lol

Buttttttt plans have changed I was going to open up the passages near the exhaust and drilling a small hole in the head so it doesn't trap air. Basically forcing all the coolant around the exhaust. Ryan did al of this to his dyno mule R3. He also ran a bypass hose from the timing cover to the centre of the exhaust ports on the block. I remember him stating that he had a hard time getting the block warm. I would rather have to much cooling that not enough. IMO easier to control. Matt

You want the water to circulate by the t-stat so it will see the real water temp. I drilled and tapped the manifold in the stock location and ran the hose to the unused port on the suction side of my Meziere pump with a reducing bushing and a hose fitting. Works well for me.

I drilled the holes in it out of boredom one day. Its still sitting in the top of my tool box. 7959171-IMG_1286.JPG (106 downloads) -Dustin 67 Dart, 9 second, 392" G3 Hemi 68 Barracuda 340 F/SA
