Intake crossover block off

[alsant]

Thinking of using a fe-pro intake gasket with crossover block off , i live on the high desert and summers are in the 90’s mostly. Would this be a good idea or should I pass on this ?

Do it man, do it!

Yes, I run that pan here in the midwest.
Between the block off , running a thermoquad on a thick gasket i have no fuel issues.

I did it with the 440 in my 1967 R/T. I live in southern Ontario, where we can get some fairly hot summers. I typically drive the car from April to November, with no adverse effects. This modification mostly solved the gasoline perculation problem (smell) in my garage, after driving it, with Edelbrock carb.

if you don't have a cold start problem no problem
do it
much cooler intake charge
denser cooler dispersion in the manifold, alum or cast iron (hopefully alum)
disarm any choke or choke stove etc. you have, it won't work after

Mine has an Edelbrock electric choke kit, that powers off the ballast resistor. Works great.

I go halfway. I use a thin steel plate with a 1/2" hole in it to block the exh xover. You want some heat to vapourise the fuel. Eventually the intake will heat soak with or without the exh over in place.

Update
Well I went with Fel-Pro cross over gasket set , have taken all bolts out as of now. To my surprise I found one shorter bolt , once I have the intake off I will clean all threads out and see if there was a reason for that short bolt.

Well after about two weeks I have an oil leak at the front China wall ! Not happy at all guess I’ll be doing it again

it's easy at least, no water jacket to deal with
