    We don't do this via e-mail so we can keep the conversation open for all to see and comment. Just keep adding/responding at the bottom of this post. You can add foam to block but it will not flow down to the bottom of the wall if you fill from the top. What is your outside siding?

    You may get you best answer by contacting 3 insuloation contractors and ask them for a bid and their idea how to insulate the block wall, it won't be expanding foam.
