It's basically like cement. You pour it into the water jackets and it strengthens the bottom end of the block. Due to this it is not recommended for street cars. It is mostly used in drag cars that don't run long.

Adam, have you had the cylinder wall thickness checked? Why are you going to bore the block over that much? If it is just because you want to build the block you already have now I would just pick up another 350. You can pick them up for around $150. If you just want the extra cubes from a bigger bore, it's not worth it. I prefer the thicker walls for strength over the extra cubes.
