I got an Edelbrock Torker II, but need to remove the water cross over for heat reduction, and easy installation. Might as well do it now, while the engine is out. If you missed it, check out the engine tear down episode… the bearings were toast! In this episode, “How to remove a intake manifold water cross over. Pontiac Rebuild, Part 10” Again, a big thank you to @Butler Performance for coaching me through the component selection process, and porting my intake manifold. If you want it done right, get your engine components, entire rotating assembly, and/or short block from www.butlerperformance.com Follow along with the Pontiac 400 (Now a 470) engine build, by subscribing below;

I noticed on my Edelbrock cross over holes are smaller than the iron cross over. Where the coolant flows out. Hopefully this makes sense. I ended up opening up the coolant holes.
Nice job man
Your videos and personality and knowledge is awesome should have your own TV show!! Keep them coming
Don't let folks stear you're likes of chrome… and change who you are. A s I get older my taste needing chrome like I did in my teens and 20s is disappearing tho, definitely like the incognitoness of Engine race parts. Awesome build man!!
I want to do this I should have when it was off. Next time the intake come off definitely. I also have the rpm intake. I didn’t know u could get them chrome. I contemplated trying to polish it but it’s sooo much work. Great video as always mike!
Ah man, I was cracking up at your intro! Great vid! Stuff keeps getting better and better!
Great into and video as always. Only thing I would add is that you can make your life a lot easier and use a course carbide cutter which will cut through Aluminum like butta'. Mine cut so well, I took out the webbing in between the front and rear runners as well. Finish with the flapper wheel. I think you have it covered with your TB but while the manifold is off, some may want to consider drilling and tapping into the front of the plenum so they can route their PCV valve from the stock location to the manifold without an ugly hose running around to the back of a Torker II. Here is a link to the type of cutter I used: https://www.amazon.com/SpeTool-Carbide-Aluminum-Cutting-Non-Ferrous/dp/B06X9TXBYW/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?crid=2M0386ZBTABEK&dchild=1&keywords=carbide+burr+aluminum&qid=1626186160&sprefix=carbide+burr+alum%2Caps%2C183&sr=8-2-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExUktBQU5CSzFCQU8yJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwODQwNDEyM1U5OTk4RjNFUlhZTCZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUExMDI3ODQwMlFTRTg1WDQxVkRGOCZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU=
Nice upgrade Mike! What are you doing with the Fitech unit?
Ohh , I kinda got off track I would like first crack at your old intake manifold .
Thank You !!!
What happened with the fitec efi? I was wondering as im considering a holley sniper kit but kinda on the fence. I've considered doing this on my torquer 2 as well. Glad you shared this with us you tube folks!
All this important info, and comedy too! lol, Great video Mike – looking forward to the next.
What is this mysterious "port injection" of which you speak???
Mike, Great job. I like it.
Lol " wife walks into garage" see him talking to the car as usual, walks back in house lol
Dang Mike, you are too funny I like how you're getting creative with your videos. That intro was hilarious. Been wanting to do this cut on my intake as well glad you filmed it.
