getting ready to change a pan gasket and throw an new trans behind the motor in my galaxie (non FE) sorry, in preperation i've let the block drain of all antifreeze/water prior to pulling the motor, i live in nw florida but the temps at night have gotton into the 20's i'm assuming since i have zero fluid in the motor i won't have a freezing issue correct?

thanks
rick

Hard to freeze what isn't there.

And by the way you know you NEED an FE in that Galaxie don't you?

you should be fine as long as you had it in there before. if there is any left in therwe it is probably still mixed so it shouldnt freeze.

......remaining water never damaged the block while sitting over winter and this is in Michigan. I can't attest to this for non-FEs. It's forgetting to drain the block that caused damage to my SO, Rod.

I would be more concerned with rust than freezing. With no antifreeze there is no rust prohibitor. Also air can now work on the exposed iron...

and for Tom P currently a 800hp pump gas 557, thanks for the info guys,
