I have used KW Permanent Metallic Block Seal on two engines. It actually worked on the Oldsmobile 455, and failed on the Flathead Ford.

The instructions say that the cooling system has to be completely free of antifreeze--drained and flushed. Antifreeze will prevent it from working.
One wonders if the SteelSeal also requires the antifreeze to be "gone". If so...you'll be expending the effort to remove that block drain plug, and flushing the cooling system including the heater.
Wild Guess: The exhaust system has coolant in it, which will steam every time the engine gets warm, until exhaust heat dries-up the exhaust tubing/muffler, etc. Overall, this is not healthy for the catalyst...but you'll find out whether or not it survived.
