What kind of epoxy is used to fill out the block when porting and for filling/shaping ports?

On the intake side of most engines you can use A/B expoxy (made by 3M) which has the consistancy of playdough. It can be formed pretty easily but the surface should be rough and clean.

I believe it will withstand 350 deg. and is not affected by most types of fuels.

I get the A/B epoxy from a distributor in Northern California, but Edelbrock and Moroso carry the exact same type. You can buy it from many automotive speed shops like Racing Summit, Jegs, ect.
