Can't seem to get the water to circulate in the motor since I put it back in. It now has a hardblock fill to the bottom of the water pump holes. I tried jacking the front end up and pulling the last header bolt on the passenger side that goes to water and nothing. Anyone have any other tricks? I remember when had the 440 with a tall fill in it I had similar issues.

Eric I just did my trick yesterday.
Put your hand over the opening on the radiator, put your compressed air blower under your hand and put a little pressure with pump on.
If your rad. has an overflow tube in the neck, cover opening with hand and blow in the overflow tube.
Works every time!

..... While most of you know BGR is my usual go to guy. He had his race and many other things on his plate when the block sprung a leak. So drove it up to my old engine guy up in NY. Well he is more of a Chevy guy so he sleeved the block and unfortunately put a tall fill in it. Thus the water circulation issue. Motor is out and he is getting a different block for me which he will machine and assemble the motor with. Just to let you guys know my only cost will be the block....all machine work and assembly he said he will take care of. This also came with an apology for me missing the 10k's at Norwalk. I feel especially bad since he did the work for me so quickly in the first place. Needless to say feel confident in the fact that I have two stand up engine builders to work with...
