Most are laid out in the How to build Big Inch Small Block MoPar's book. I tapped and plugged the holes going up to the heads from the ends of the deck and drilled them out to 1/8" to force more coolant up through the center of the head. I am using a remote pump and the coolant enters the block through the center core plugs too. I didn't mess with trying to drill between the bores , but if I was going to burn gas , I might have considered it. This is for a dual purpose motor though......if you are not going to drive on the street or in circles , I think a lot of it is over kill.

I did drill and tap the top centers on each side of the block but never needed any more cooling and when I switched over to E-85 I had to run it in the lanes to keep the temp up

I have traveled over 30 miles on a summer evening, with a combination of highway and city, including a few illegal displays of acceleration and the temp never topped 180*.
