Finaly got car out of the panel shop and into my shop yesterday .
Time to locate the internal coolant leak .
Motor and trans out last night . Pulled the heads and pan today .
Was crossing fingers it was a bore issue . No such luck .
Cracked #4 web from the cap to water jacket . Cracked along stud thread area .
Lucky as i did put 6 or 8 passes after it showed moisture , and found split head as well . Changed them last month .
Back to old 440 for rest of year .
Damn i need a new cross bolted block , no point doing the same again and risk driving over the crank .
Dont want aluminium just an iron block
