First the question.

Can you safely run Mercury EAC heads on a 24 stud Ford 59 block?

I have a motor that I purchased and ran in my car for a couple of years that is exactly that configuration. I was recently told that there is a water hole in the 59 block that does not line up with any water hole on the EAC heads and that this could create a loss of water. I have not experienced this, but am now wondering if it could potentially create another issue related to cooling that I should be aware of.
Any wisdom appreciated.
