Installing Intake with crossover removed question
I’m getting ready to install my new Torker II and have a question. For those that have installed an intake with the exhaust crossover removed on an engine with iron heads (with filled crossover), what did you do to cover up the exposed head portion between the intake runners? Pics would be great.

If your heads are filled with Aluminum that was done in one compete pour then the crossover should be sealed and then you do not need to do anything but bolt the Intake on.

https://forums.maxperformanceinc.com...t=block+plates You can add aluminum plates like these but your intake will have to be cut again, down the
center of the bolt holes, for it to work. |

You could also simply aluminum paint that area for a cleaner look or engine color
Problem with plates is they need to be close in thickness to the intake or the bolt head / washer will favor the thicker of the two for clamping force |

I found a piece of flat aluminum close to the thickness of the intake and just cut it to fit. I just used bolts and thick washers to clamp it down. Works just fine and has for years.
