Default Draining water out of FE block
I was reading a post on the FE forum about a guy that had water freeze in his block and cause problems.

I got to thinking...after I brought my engine home from the dyno (where they used 100% water for coolant), I removed the drain plug on each side of the block and let it all drain out. There wasn't much left, but it trickled out.

With temps in the freezing range around here, do you think I'm in good shape? I think the drain plugs are pretty close to the bottom of the water jackets, so what all was in there should have came out.

Any issues with storing the engine like this?
