Block Filler????

Looking at using block filler on my 71' 351C in my Torino. I should get it back from the machiner next week and have heard some pros and cons to filling the block. I went .030 over on the block and running KB flat tops with stock rods with 9:5 compression for NOS.

Other notables...
Weiand Intake
Comp High Energy Cam
Heads have been refeshed with mild porting
650 Holley DP
125 shot in the arm

This won't be strictly race, but I don't want to compromise my cooling capabilities filling the block. I actually have heard more pros based on overall added strenght and dampening.

Please advise!
