when i put my motor in, i did not add any anti-freeze. well i went outside and drained the water, but do you think there is still enough water in the block to cause a problem?

You can just start the motor up and let it pump the rest out of it to be on the safe side.

well i went down to the gas station and bought two gallons of coolant for 10.00 a gallon put it in and started the car and let it go through a couple of cylces of the Tstat opening, and shut it off. i should be good to go now. BTW it is not in the garage and it is already freezing outside i believe.

Did the turbo mustangs like the -1400 D.A. this morning on the drive into work? It's like natural nitrous out there! :D

The temp has to get down in the mid 20s before you have to worry about cracking blocks.
