You may find this page interesting, it reccomends not blocking the crossover on the 340-6;

Haven't read that yet but you do bring up a good point , if he is using the stock choke stove then he'll need the heated passage or it's going to cause issues with the choke opening properly/fully ???
choke? race cars dont have chokes...
this car hasn't had a choke for years. it wasnt there when i bought it in 86 either. The reason I want to block the crossover is because I can hear gas bubbling in the fuel bowls after I shut it off. I am also going to install the valley tray I just ordered (I used to have one and that kept the intake nice and cool).
Since I dont need the chock well, and the paint is starting to blacken near the heads at the crossover, I figured it wouldnt hurt to block em.

If I was gonna pound a buncha crap in there I'd back it up with wadded up $100,00 bills so when it finally melts/breaks loose and sucks it into a cylinder I'd at least have the cash on hand to fix it.
That's the funniest retort I've seen in a while, even more so considering the guy's name is Bill MeLater.
Parts I seek:
driver doorpanel, 65 Sport Fury, prefer black, needs to be 7-8 on 10 scale, might buy set
16" x 6" Dodge truck wheel(s), from early 70s?, takes 9" dogdish - need for a research job so cheaper is better.
69-73 C-body caliper brackets and/or splashields
Send a PM.

There is a Mopar kit that has the intake gaskets with a metal block off plate for each side. Part#P4286569 I have used it with no problems so far.

I filled the crossover on my Edelbrock intake with JB weld. Been working for over 6 years now.
Simply mix up enough to fill the hole, pour it in, tape off the face of the ontake and set the intake so that the tape in down, gravity does the rest. If you find you didn't quite mix up enough it's easy to add more later.
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.
