I never would have thought about heating the block and heads like that ,very good idea .I have a complete 350 from our Malibu vert that I plan on making a coffee table out of that I need to finish cleaning and paint it .The only reason I have not is I have been waiting to build a new shop and none of the building contractors in my area seem to be interested in giving me a bid .I learn a lot by keeping up with your thread so keep it coming .
