One thing I would like to add. don't forget to remove the heat riser on the right side exhaust manifold.
yes most are using headers where this is not a concern but some are still using stock manifolds . |

Had a special intake(428 PI) that the heat crossover had burnt through. On that one I blocked the intake only and was going to fill the passage with block fill if that did not work. It did work.

I prefer to block the head, and I like to use at least 3/16 steel plate.
I have blocked the manifold using 3/8 thick Aluminum. If you have an Iron manifold, use Iron or Steel. Same for heads, Iron or Steel for Iron heads, Aluminum for Aluminum. If you use a shim gasket block it will burn through. Honestly I do not understand why they sell those gasket block offs. they fail eventually. |
