I just bought a new notch and the intake setup is a little different than I'm used to. There is no water neck for the upper radiator hose and no T-Stat housing. Usually I place my temp sensor in the driver side corner of the intake like all other cars, but if you look at the picks this setup is a little different. So my question is, if I remove the crossover hose in the rear of the intake to install sensors will I mess up the coolant flow at all? I know on the Super Victor intakes I ran they were blocked off anyway. This is an Edelbrock 2828 for a 351W

It typically is not a good idea to install your ECT sensor at the rear of the manifold. You won't get accurate readings back there. Could you install a T adapter on the front of the manifold where on of your AN fittings is?

Yeah that's a possibility, or I will just put in some bungs on the radiator I guess. Thanks
