If you live somewhere that has an actual winter and you drive the car in the winter then you want a functioning exhaust crossover.
Take care,

Thanks for the P/N scratchin
If the PN is correct for an RB-engine you'll be getting the wrong intake gasket for your 383.

Yeah, you need this one Fel Pro 1214 Intake Manifold Gaskets. Summit is Z1214. Jegs is 24.99 and Summit is 27.99. Rock auto was just under $22.
correct.  I did not have the B-engine part# at the time. the main thing is the HP in the part# to get the heat blocked off.
I would block it and use elect. choke on the carb.

OK I guess my question now is how bad would it be for me to just drive it as-is? I live in Chicago and the car is driven several times a week ... I don't want to put much money into it and am worried if I take it to someone to get welded they'll just end up warping it...
Welding it is NOT going to warp it , you have to seal the crack or you are going to have an exhaust leak and if you have to pass some sort of safety inspection you will fail it more than likely .
If it's going on a daily driver that does not have either a manual or electric choke you need the crossover open , but since the DP4B does not have a provision for the thermostatic choke having the crossover open will help with warm up ...

How much worse do you think it would be driveability wise in the winter with the crossover blocked?
I wouldn't winter drive without the crossover but that's just me. The crossover heat helps with mpg and throttle response by boiling off fuel that's puddled on the floor of the intake or dropped out of suspension. This happens more when the air is colder. But you can try blocking it off and you will see the difference for yourself.
