Coolant system without radiator or pump.

(1/2) > >>

George:
I'm looking for pictures and/or system designs of proven applications on a SBC. I would like to run with the block and heads full of coolant and exchange only when the engine is too hot. I don't expect I will need to dump all the coolant after an 1/8 mile pass. I'm running a Hilborn 327B manifold. 

Thanks. George

Hi George I use a pump and a small tank about two quarts but I hardly ever use the pump . I think you should be just fine with water in the block . If you tow it back from a run I doubt you will ever have to drain it.

Hello Bill, I have lots of options to make coolant connections. How do you have yours setup. What is the tank height. I was thinking of tying the lowest point on the block into the tank ( both sides) and doing the same to the two highest points ( top of intake manifold , front , each side.

George I don't know if this helps much but I use a verticle tank with a fill on top . I made it taller than the top of the motor for filling and a small tank to run my 4 manifold lines to . Right now everything is apart so it is hard to show you haw it is plumbed

George:
Thanks , I'm closing in on a design. George
