About how much coolant in a 350 block?
I drained the radiator but how much is still in the engine? Trying to get as close to a 50/50 coolant ratio. Thanks.

I don't remember the exact measurement, but I always put in 2 gal antifreeze, then top off withe water and it always seems to give m e the correct mixture on the little measuring device thing.

Set up a catch pan and remove either plug from the bottom of the block to drain all of it. Then you'll know how much is in the block, and have a precise ratio.

I went looking for cooling system capacity, but got bored looking through the 671 page repair manual. I've always flushed the system with water and then put in 2 gallons of antifreeze, finishing off with water, just like Palf70step and Stocker have said. Pretty sure that the system is close enough to 4 gallons that unless you live in the frozen north, you'll be close enough for freezing protection.
