I recall, all these old dragsters filled their blocks with water but had no radiators.

For as long as I can remember (I'm 49) drag engines, especially those running on alcohol, were filled with something solid like cement.

Been around since the 80s not really old but not new. Made of concrete and iron particles. People just like to here those word now.
They didn't usually fill the entire block just 1/2 to 3/4 and run water in the heads. Most ran alcohol because the engines ran cooler.

As DMW pointed out the correct product is HardBlok. I used it in the Chrysler motor that was in my dragster and will be using it in the Chevy motor going into the "Sheets and Giggles" altered. The stuff is a little spendy but adds a lot of structural rigidity into the block - a necessity when you start messing around with blowers and alcohol on stock blocks.
