You can do it with a lot less antifreeze by using a set of "muffs" to
gravity feed right into the intake holes on the I/O leg. You just
need to rig up a jerry jug and some hoses.

I've done it with the muffs and the kit provided by West Marine.

Worked like a champ. But, as Tim suggested, the muffs must provide a decent fit to the intakes.

'Name-calling'...the liberals' answer to a lost argument!

What about fogging the engine? I'd rather do that first then drain all
the water out, disconnect the top of the big water pump hose and pour
your antifreeze into the hose until it starts coming out the thermostat
housing. It couldn't be easier than that. The manifolds and risers might
need to be done separately.
