Has anyone out there heard about or have even done a reverse flow cooling kit on their truck. Reverse flow cooling flows the coolant throw the cylinder head first then the block. Something to do with the heat transfer of the coolant creates an even flow of heat throw the block increasing power and performance. This application is used on a lot of race cars. I was just curious if anyone knows of a "kit" or if anyone has done this and if so pictures please.

 

On the Olds engines we used to tap the heads first and flow through the the block. It was supposed to have a noticable temp change from that and soem guys swore by it.

 

Power to be had would be minimal. Sorta like adding a 180* t-stat over 195*.

The cooling is plenty sufficient on the stock engine's. Highly modified engine's require various forms of cooling that is't needed on stock engine's.

I think your trying to find "hidden" power where there is none...lol

 

Technically you find extra efficiency. The cooler heads result in more complete combustion.

 

Usually reverse flow cooling kits are engineered for small block chevys because the coolant doesn't route to the heads first. The hemi coolant routing goes through the heads first as built. See below, ignore the text at the bottom, the picture is for the 5.7:
