Rear Coolant Crossover
Seems like there's a fair bit of debate on this. Currently putting an Accel base on my engine, and I didn't know about the weird block off plate on the intake gasket before I bought it. From what I understand I should be fine if I delete the T connection to the heater core hose and properly burp the system.
I have aftermarket aluminum heads on here, and I imagine the engine will make more heat because of the cam, too. Mild 355 with 219/225 and superram, long tubes, EGR delete, ect. I also plan on getting a higher flowing water pump since this car will be in a warm climate (Florida). I'd still like opinions on this before I put the intake on, though.
