If I have drained the radiator and swapped thewater pump how much fluid would there be left in the intake manifold?

Thanks

The intake would be empty but my guess would be about 1 1/2 qts on each side of the block would still be in there. There is a drain plug located on each side of the block if you wish to drain all of it out. They usually have a 9/16" hex head on a pipe plug. I would recomend using a six point socket because they can be tight.
