If you are talking about the heat cross over, the opening in the center of the head on the intake side and not down the inside of the carb, they it is no problem at all. That is a blind hole around the crossover passage to reduce the heat transfer to the head.

Exactly. If its in the "U" shaped area just get a magnet--I've pulled all sorts of crap out of these areas over the years. If it dropped into the exhaust crossover it may or may not be a problem. I would go after it with a magnet. May find a home harmlessly in the exhaust...then again, may rattle.

Please clarify "it rolled into the head" as mentioned if it went into the upside down "U" shaped opening it won't hurt anything.. .
That 'U' opening is nothing but an air dam to help keep the hot adjacent exhaust ports from building up excessive heat.. They do not go internal.

i went fishing today for the dropped bolt in head. could not get it so i had to remove head. found bolt right away .now i have to put it all back. next time i will be more careful when working on cars
Lemme get this right. The screw (it's not a bolt): 1. fell down through the carb, 2. into the intake manifold, 3. down the plenum, 4. through an open valve, 5. and into the chamber....

Don't feel bad. I once had the distributer out of my SB and a 4-40 X 1/8" screw fell down inside the block...
.... back in the day in the USAF, you would drop a scew in an F4 cockpit and you would have to call egress, pull the seat and sometimes take days looking for a tiny washer or screw now those were the days!!!
