Brainstorming ideas for coolant crossover on Air-Gap intakes

Khalid: No heat riser port,on E/Q heads... My LA bolt pattern heads,still had a sealed heat riser crossover port...Isn't gonna happen... The heater under the plenum,is interesting...In the 80's,some OEM carbed setups,used "heat grid " gaskets.. Electrical controlled,would preheat the air/fuel mixture for emulsification...Not aware ,of an four barrel application,just some info.

Tim (and others) I seriously considered using something electrically heated but I like the idea of using the engine coolant, it's a good heat source because the temp stays pretty constant but it puts out a lot of heat energy since it's contained in water. The bigger "cooler" I can fit the more the intake will be heated but not to too high a temp

I did see an old electric heat grid carb spacer thingy for a small Olds V8 (2-bbl of course) somewhere on the web, might be a good idea for people running Super 6 intakes on their slants with no intake heat...
