Oil would be a tick warmer but the filler would move making the block out of round warm.,you could run an oil cooler??
If you do this , make sure you seal the top of the filler with an epoxy. Trust me…
Hard block or Embecco 885?
Mine are filled to .250 above the water pump holes.

I think I'm saying the same thing as BP758.
I bought used turn key car sat with antifreeze that was half filled.
It could of had other additves added as well.
It attacked the filler. I'm not sure what was for filling the block.
Clogged the radiator and was very gritty.
I did the same by sealing with two part epoxy.



Cool

Thanks for the responses I think I will try with the addition of an oil cooler.
