Mine are stock cast iron but not coated. Had the stock intake on for awhile then swapped to an Offy intake. You can run the stock intake or Offy intake without any heat added to it with a heat plate. I ran mine open for awhile. I use a heat plate sold by Langdon's cause of my cold climate. Here's some pics of my set up.

thanks man those pics help me out alot.. where do you have that right hose connected to from the heat plate? Im in central ca and we have a few 30 degree days... I might not need the heat because Im sticking with the 1 bbl.. what do you guys think, should I be ok with the plate and no heat?

Will those headers clear the Z bar for a manual?

Geezer, Do you have a cleaner picture of your bellcrank throttle setup? I'm trying to get a TBI setup working and would like a cleaner solution.

Thanks!

You should be fine with no heat plate if you don't mind a bit of stumbling and rough running till your motor warms up. In your area it's probably warmer most of the time compared to my little corner of the world. You don't even need a plate on there. There's no connection between the plate area and the inside of the intake. The hoses on mine run from the thermostat housing(the hose on the left) thru the heat plate and the hose running to the right goes around the back of the motor and into my heatercore and then out of the core back to the water pump.

Some pics for Zeke. Sorry to highjack a bit.
And one pic for the op. Shows my stock intake with no heat plate.
