RE: No filter.

Thanks Lads:

I kinda suspect that the block side drain plugs are kinda small for what I have in mind Bob...same as to just running the car and finally changing the coolant after break-in, Dave. Some of this rust stuff might be kinda large. However, I didn't have any problems with a 289 in an old 66 Mustang I had which hot-tanked similarly. Did what Dave said and just drained the rad after a few hundered miles, but additional flushing through the block side drains is a good idea to compliment the procedure Bob. The rad I have in the 428 car is brand new, and kind of expensive(specialty item and there is no old rad to use)...that's why I was asking about a further flushing before starting engine. But you two are most likely right and that's what I'll think I'll do...a combo of both. Thanks fella's.

Interestingly Dave...I know what you were getting at with the garden hose idea and break-in, but that's not what I meant. I just wanted to use domestic water presure to flush the block as I had previously described...I had no intention of "starting" the engine at that point. For the rest of you out there, what Mr. Shoe is talking about is allowing an engine (any engine, but particulary a fresh rebuild where everything is tight and tends to heat up quickly) to run, or break-in, with continuous cold water flowing through it and not allowing the engine to warm up. This is very detrimental to the longevity of the engine.
This thread, so far...
