A small block 350 Chevy engine typically holds about 4.5 to 5.5 quarts of oil, depending on the specific configuration and whether a filter change is included. When considering the cooling system, it generally requires around 12 to 16 quarts (approximately 11 to 15 liters) of coolant, which includes the radiator and the engine. Therefore, if you're asking about the total water capacity for the cooling system, it would be in that range.
With water.
About 2 gallons.
In through the bottom hose, out through the top.
it screws into the side of one of the heads.
Some do, some don't. The distributor, starter and alternator fit, the water pump does not. The mounting brackets are all different.
could be a bad head gasket or cracked head.
It's lean.
180 to 195 degrees is normal.
Flushing a small block Chevy engine involves opening the petcock, draining the coolant, filling the system with water, and adding a flush solution. The vehicle is ran for about 10 minutes, drained, and refilled with a 50/50 mixture of water and anti-freeze.
Do not use sealant on the head gasket. I use permatex on the threads of the bolts that go into water jackets.
One in the intake, near the thermostat, and the other one, in the upper port on the water pump.
