So I'm learning on the fly here and I don't have an opinion as to which of you is correct or even if you are on the same paragraph of the same page.
But I have an idea about using both water and exhaust. I use Air-Aid 1" 4 hole spacer with threads. I'm taking it to the shop as soon as it gets here to have the perimeter center drilled 3/8" and tapped to run water through. I'm also taking a 1" 4 hole spacer with smooth ports that have the lines in the ports to catch the fuel as the book recommends. I'm taking the second spacer to the machine shop to have it drilled and tapped and I'm going to tap the heat cross overs on the manifold and run them through that spacer.
It will go like this. Manifold, Thin square hole gasket, 1" 4 hole regular spacer with scoured ports and exhaust going through it, 1/4" 4 hole insulated gasket, Air-Aid 4 hole spacer with water through it, 1/4" 4 hole insulated gasket, Carb.
The carb remains cooled enough by the coolant plate and thermo spacer, the fuel come from the carb and is thrown against the sides by the vortec. the threads act as fins and have more contact point for heat transfer. As this fuel spins down it comes into the spacer with exhaust in it and it's hotter. The fuel is tossed against the sides and falls into the groves which are super heated by the exhaust but below what I researched to be an issue. Thus creating a hotter and hotter mixture as it drops and the port wall conditions are there to take advantage of it.
Thoughts?
The heat from the exhaust will come on fast but it will not over heat the carb as the insulated gaskets and water in the top plate will dissipate the heat.
I been working on this idea and am in the process of building this and testing it out.
Thoughts?
