I got a recall letter on it but never took it in, I'd already defeated it. LOL :)
Same picture as last post...

You can see where the intake manifold has its boss (~1/4 exposed, by the
rear carburetor stud). That's where I drilled and tapped for a cast iron pipe
plug and run it down tight (oiled, run it in and out many times "breaking the
threads in") and cut it off straight with a hacksaw and then carefully filed it
flat as I could get it, without disturbing the rest of the flat ground surface.
It's like I'm a cross between a shade tree mechanic + a hammer mechanic
+ a racer, I really like to modify stuff! :)

Since this setup works like a champ for me...

...I suppose I don't need the crossover neither.
Won't be any where near as satisfying (if I ever remove the crossover)
as it was cutting that friggin choke off my 2100 with a hacksaw tho!

I ran my 3X2 set up sans choke on my 428CJ and even in Kansas during the winter I could nurse it to life.

Hmmm... wouldn't exhaust gasses going through a crossover inside
an aluminum intake manifold also make it get hotter than the block
and since aluminum already changes size about twice as much as
iron, this would cause another source of trouble? :/
Aluminum heads are the only aluminum part to cause trouble from
thermal expansion?

{Thermal Expansion x10^6)} of alloys of...
Fe- 10 to 12 (stainless can be ~16)
Mn- 16 :)
Cu- 16.5 to 19
Zn- 20 to 21
Al- 22 to 26
So...
If you had a brass part stuck inside an aluminum part, heat it up. :)
If you had a brass part stuck inside a magnesium part, cool it down. :)
Etc. :)
