When building a Cleveland, there are a number of small changes that should be done to the block and head gaskets.

Block mods are done for oiling, Head gaskets are drilled to fix a water passage problem for engines that over heat. As I recall, the drivers side front water passage is blocked on almost all gaskets. You may need to remove the gasket, locate the water jacket and drill it with a 1/4" sharp drill. If the drill is dull, it will shred the material.

Sorry, I am doing this from memory, I do not have my build book with me. It could ba a 3/16" hole. You will need to check around for this mod. I think I got this from Bud Moore.

Hope this helps.
