Cooler intake manifold

How many questions can Dan squeeze in one post?

:rofl:

Dan the man said

So if I run aluminum heads and intake manifold would I benefit from a 1" carb spacer, heat shield, lifter valley baffle and a 180* thermostat?

Possibly…… every engine is different. Try it on yours now.

Is there a water pump available with out the heater hose outlet? Should I even run aluminum heads on the street?

W/P? Yes, the factory race unit at around $600 - ish dollars IIRC
Take a stock pump and ether cap it off or cut the tops off and drill and tap for a Allen head set plug. I like cutting the heater hose and filling with RTV. Ugly as sun but yet effective.

Aluminum heads on the street? Sure! Why not?

For my application would I be better off with a set of 5.2 magnum heads if I can find a set that's not cracked.

All Magnum heads are the same on both engines.
