Do I need one?

IIRC you could cap the heat stove on the Offy and run a water inlet to the manifolds PCV port (or whatever that little screw is on the side) , but you'd have to plumb a return off the bottom of the stove cap, easy enough to redirect it as the new extended bypass from head to pump.

That is the exact set up that I have on the slant in the 83 D150 with dual Dutra’s. I changed the egr cavity in the stock cast aluminum two bbl intake into a hot water hot spot.
