Brainstorming ideas for coolant crossover on Air-Gap intakes

BTW, copper and aluminum are not electrolytically compatible so you will get corrosion (even in dry CO) if you put them in contact. So I would be thinking stainless or aluminum for the tubing. If you air seal up the area, then the epoxy and tube idea may work out.

I still wonder why not just switch to the Performer intake and have it heated normally from underneath with the oil and get rid of the open air under the plenum.....

Thanks for the tip on the metals I had a feeling that might be an issue but didn't really think about it till you mentioned it, I will keep that in mind.

And once again lol, I'm running Magnum heads so there is no "regular RPM" intake I can run. If I had heads with the LA intake pattern I would not have put an Air-Gap on in the first place, it was my only option with the Magnums. Tim that's what I meant with regards to aftermarket heads, if/when I upgrade my heads I am definitely going with LA intake pattern so I can run a non-Air-Gap intake and at least get the heat from the oil splashing underneath.
