Since most of these aluminum heads have no heat cross over, is there a tip to getting the intake warm enough on cold winter days?
You don't need heat risers in most cases if you use a electric or mechanical/cable choke. Or fuel injection. My edlebrock headed 340 and 440 has not had them for over 10 years now and do not miss them especially during the real hot summer days. Here's my 340 car idling warming up before I drive it this past Januray when it was 7°F this morning. The car is stored outside and sat for 2-3 weeks since I last started it. Just have to have the choke hooked and working on the carb. On the salty streets!
