318-3 Closed Chamber Truck Heads

Sorry incorrect. Of COURSE the coolant is in the head........he's speculating on whether it will "live" OK with the intake. Unlike blocking the exhaust crossover, "if it seeps" a little it will NOT be OK in this case
I don't see it being any different to the water jacket that goes into front of the manifold, and I have never seen or heard of a failure in this area.
