Block Filler Necessary?

Chad E532 · 12-09-2022, 01:14 PM

We had to source a new block since our GM casting 400 block bores are non repairable and the block is already 0.060 over. Went to a Dart Little M block with billet caps.
The GM block we had was filled to the water pump. Changing over to the Little M block is there enough rigidity in the Dart castings that filler is not needed or is it still good practice to fill the block?

Thanks,

Chad
