65 Barracuda daily driver

You might also want to consider removing the pan on the bottom of the intake manifold, if there is one. I figured it's not needed (with the crossover blocked) and would allow some heating to the intake manifold from the crankcase. That's what I've done on my '65 273 and it appears to work well in our warm, S. CA climate. Carb adjustment and timing remain important too.
Happy Thanksgiving.
