Nope. It does not appear so. There's no extra passages in that intake. That said, why is it a "problem"? Plenty of V8 engines run dry intakes. I drive one sometimes everyday.

Nope. Those are oil drain backs to the pan from the heads.
Well.....I said that but you may be correct, but I don't think so. Looking at this, the blue hoses go into the pan, but on the assembled engine, they go into the timing cover. There's no water where they go into the cover though, so they had to change to the timing cover for some reason.
Just like it does in any of the Ford 335 (Cleveland) family engines. Although those engines were a clean slate design from Ford with a different type cooling system. I'd wonder about the circulation too with a conversion like that. "Evidently" it must work. Here's how Ford did it with the Cleveland family. They MUST use a bypass style thermostat.
Right in the block. See the thermostat housing? The water pump bypass is in the block instead of being an exterior hose. The bypass is open when cold and when the thermostat opens, it blocks the water pump bypass off. Just like the diagram I linked to above.
I built a 500hp 395ci Poly pump gas engine with Bruce Toth ported heads that flowed 247 on the intake and 166 on the exhaust at .600 lift I have it in a 66 Plymouth Valiant Gasser that runs low to mid 11 second 1/4 mile passes thru the mufflers with street tires. Here is a link to a video where you can see how a poly on pump gas can run with some work car can be seen at 1:32 into video:

That's a beauty!
It is a Chrysler Power wind tunnel. I don't know if they are still available or not. Limited run of them was made.
Scroll down to see the Wind Tunnel. Poly 318 Intake Manifolds - Poly318.com
No adapter plates, it was made for the poly

Too bad they don't make those intakes and valve covers any more. I had photos of the foundry in Mexico where they were cast. Let me look. Nope, just photos of the products.
Thats where the intake and valve covers came from on mine
