    as everyone that has been following my build on my first blown alcohol engine i started out with building a mild 1000hp engine that was only going to see car shows and cruises and race a couple times a year..since build started i decided to not waste a nice engine sitting all weekend at a car show and instead use it for what it should be..RACE;;i then went bigger heads/blower/injection;;NOW heres the thing;;

    i have a wet block and heads because of what eng was to be used for first..also i plumbed in a remote water pump/water manifold and radiator;;everyone on other sites asking why the cooling system they are seeing in pics with running alcohol;;i do plain on showing only when i can't afford to race so may need to drive car couple blocks from trailer to show area;;

    do i remove my cooling system or keep it[could use the cash from selling it];;if i remove it then what do i do as to block and heads being wet?

    If it was me I'd pull the water, dont have to do anything you can even leave the fittings open.
    I spit a gasket once w mine and the water made for a slippery ride, Went dry after that.

    with water in it it is harder to get up to temperature the alky will run cool enough with no water leaks to deal with
