An interesting and fascinating thread!

A question from the sidelines...

I spent big bucks for a magnificent SB from KeithCraft, Plano, with aluminum heads and an aluminum intake.

I only want protection down to about 25 degrees, just below freezing.

My Backdraft will be garaged, but "things happen" sometimes.

I'm concerned about antifreeze compatability with aluminum.

Hey, I still remember alcohol-based antifreeze- don't go there.

I agree, pure water transfers heat better than an "off the shelf" antifreeze-water mix, (personal experience) but some coolant manufacturers push their "anti-corrosion" and "lubricant" additives.

I guess I'm asking for input on "compatability."

Thanks, guys.
