Crosswind air gap clone and ram truck serpentine setup

The Edelbrock Magnum intake has thermostat in the correct Magnum position, as others have said.
If going with factory fuel injection, still using Magnum heads, go for the Hughes Air Gap manifold, if the budget allows. It is just an Edelbrock Air Gap cast specifically for Hughes by Edelbrock. It costs a little more, but it also has the thermostat housing in the correct Magnum position, already has injector bungs drilled, comes with gasksts, and comes with the two barrel adapter needed to run the factory throttle body. The brackets for mounting the factory fuel rails look terrible, but they work, and you can use the air conditioning compressor from the Magnum engine along with serpentine setup.
