junkyard 396ss coolant advice

[Barry Tisdale]

Ol' Smokey Yunick built some engines & heads w/ this in mind.  He'd saw the
block/head apart, fit copper tubes inside to direct the water where needed,
weld it back together & refinish it in 'raw cast iron' look to hide the
welds.  Now that is going to a *lot* of trouble, but it worked very well.
