IML: Cooling system "cleaning"?

[Kenyon Wills <imperialist1960@xxxxxxxxx>]

Had the engine rebuilt.

Apparently the water passages of the block weren't
cleaned.  Thought it was boiled, but maybe not.  

So the water I put in turned bright brown with Rust
and I'm at 600 miles now.

Someone else in the garage today said that there was
some remedy such as 4 table spoons of Borax into the
radiator, so I'm here to hear about old wives tales on
this.  Aside from new coolant, anything else to abate
the rust particulates that are going into suspension
in the coolant, presumably out of the water jackets in
the block?

New radiator, pump, hoses and everything else...
Used, freshly rebuilt 1970 440 block, obviously.


By the way:

I researched this REPAIR by clicking on that button on
the club website and then clicking on COOLING SYSTEM
and there are no apparent remedies besides flushing
listed there.

Any thoughts appreciated if not acted upon.
