Part of this will be eliminating water between the intake port and the deck. The 4 holes for water flow into the head will be gone.

Hey Tod:
Sounds like you are moving along on this.
Curious about the change of the water holes in the block. With this design, will you need to use a special head gasket covering the holes in the head?
The water holes that are removed from block will still be in the heads and with water flowing in them and using a traditional gasket, the water is going to want to go somewhere. I can imagine this would be an area of potential leaks.
