Does anyone know if the 351W has a freeze out plug?
I am concerned I may have cracked my block. I moved out of state last year
and rented a house without a garage. My money too tight to afford long term
storage. I would have had to sell the car to afford the garage...The car
sat all winter with a cover. I had Antifreeze in it but it was at least 2-3
years old.
My situation has improved and I just bought a house with a 2 car garage. I
unwrapped my car this past weekend and was pretty happy how well it held up.
I have it a good bath and a vacuum, check the oil and jump started it. It
started right up. I let it idle for about 25 min and noticed it was hotter
than I would have expected (220). I figured I'd drain the radiator and give
it some fresh water/antifreeze.
When I "tried" to fill the radiator, the water just poured out near the back
of the engine, near the transmission. I still do not have a garage yet and
I can not jack it up where I am.
I will be getting the car towed to my new house after we close and will be
able to work on it.
Any advice would be helpful.
