Can you use the rear water ports on an air gap manifold for temp sensor or sensor to turn fan on.Anyone use these ports.
Partialy wrong. The intake is so designed to force the water from rear to front, not the gasket.A small block mopar doesn't have water running through the rear of the intake. At least that's what I always thought. The head gaskets are designed to block th rear passage and force it to cross in the front, where the T Stat is. AM I wrong in this?
Please define "SWAG" for me.Just a pure SWAG: Since the standard water flow direction in the heads is back-to-front, it would not seem intuitive that it would do so; I would think it would only change the balance of flow between the heads. If one head's combustion chambers got a bit hotter and raised the local pressure in that head, it might even divert more flow to the cooler head....
No, one side to the other is not how it is done. You would tap both sides of the intake and run the water hoses to the front of the engine in a modified thermostat housing.I would add to the question: does adding the rear port by-pass (so from one side to the other) improve the water flow in the SB Mopar engine?
"Sheer wild-assed guess"... meaning I have no evidence to back it up LOLPlease define "SWAG" for me.
