Some guys don't heat it at all (normally in warmer climates than Tom is in up North) and report NO problems at all. Tom is a very smart guy, and VERY adamate about this topic, but in the end, the decision is yours! When I fired my engine for the very first time, it was only minutes before the copper tubing that I used started the dark rainbow coloring from the heat, so I know for a fact that the intake is getting hot quick, no waiting on the coolant to warm up! Have you already plumbed it up? If so, my rambling did you no good, and I didnt even answer your question! ![]() Posted via Mobile Device

Re: Tricked-out Chevy six cylinder engines
When I first installed the motor I had a bad bog off the line. Installed the hot water lines and it went away!!! Offenhauser manifold and Holley 390 carb. Mike

Re: Tricked-out Chevy six cylinder engines
i have the offy intake ont the truck now but i do not have the headers or the water heat installed yet. the offenhauser intake i got was brand new never installed still had the tag and wrapping on it, the guy bought it from jc whitney 10 or 12 years ago. he sold the intake and 6 qjets to me for 100 bucks. thats a hard one to pass up.

This is my old GMC. I'm thinking of a new build to include a newer model very soon.

Re: Tricked-out Chevy six cylinder engines
To say that you have to have the manifold heated is like saying a tunnel ram or an air gap manifold won't work ... my triple setup on my 261 has no heat and I am sure that if I dont run it in the winter i will be fine .. If you drive yours all year in a cold climate , then I would for sure heat the manifold...

Re: Tricked-out Chevy six cylinder engines
Well the dist. has the DUI stuff 50,000 coil and mod. If I remember right 8m. wires and it has been set-up using a dist. machine to handle the 8000.That intake was first on my old 250 built up with a crane cam 38-7200 power band beefier springs then what crane called for. Pistons started life as a 12.5-1 for a 307.They were fly cut .225 to clear the 583/607 lift cam which turned the pop-up in too a 3staged piston dome. Stock rods with ARP studs,
bottom end is other wise stock. Stock oil pump. The head on the main build was a 194 which put the more between 13.9-1 an 15-1. The head gasket would only hold up to about 3, 1/4mi passes before blowing it. So to be able to run a 3day weekend event I swap to a larger head to bring the compression down to around 11-12-1. And yes this is just a stock cast iron head. And at that time had no lump ports. This new motor is now at 13-1 with a New cam which is just under 700 lift. which also had (key word being had) my first style bolt-in , which has now been replaced with My newer G2 lump kit. The same tunnel ram will be used till I finish my newer Alum 3x4 one with other improvements to it. On that older motor which was just over 17yrs old. When I was testing different intakes Offey 4b, Clifford 4b, and dual 4b. My 3x4 out ran and performed the best. and the ETs showed that. And yes they are holley 450s Pretty much stock out of the Box. And I am now also working on a billet air cleaner for it. Or at least a better looking one kinda maybe old school but none the less it will still be of billet.

Re: Tricked-out Chevy six cylinder engines
Thanks for the info Larry. For the intake and headers what is a good gasket to use? Is the one Clifford gave me sufficient? I have an exhaust leak and no doubt a small intake leak and its because I am using a stock type gasket( The metal style).

Re: Tricked-out Chevy six cylinder engines
I run the felpro 1025 head gasket and the MrGasket gasket and I have not had any problems and I have ran the Mrgasket for 20 some yrs. I heard the felPro gasket is vary good as well.

Re: Tricked-out Chevy six cylinder engines
Here's a video of my 64 292 running after 13 years. Sorry about my fingers getting in the way. I was afraid to rev it up to high cause I didn't want to blow the bent pushrod.
