Is this going to be a problem?
Well, I was getting ready to paint the block on my 454. As I was taping up the heads around the intake, I noticed the cross over heat riser ports are exposed on the heads...The intake doesn't cover them.
Is this a problem? Are these under pressure? I believe they are tied into the exhaust ports somehow. I think my intake gaskets will cover these up...
See these pics...with intake in place:

I beleive this is the correct intake for the motor. Its a Edelbrock Performer 2.0 dual plane. The motor is 454 out of '84 c3o wrecker.Last edited by Gusaroo; 06-02-2007 at 04:16 PM.
You're welcome Mike, glad it worked out for you. Roger, it's taken a few years but my inventory of excess parts has shrunk a fair bit from 1 1/2 garage stalls to about an eight by eight space. ...
