When the engine needs manifold heat the worst is right after startup- - - -when the coolant is ambient temperature. Find a piece of 1" aluminum plate and some 5/8" OD copper tubing, plus a couple of compression fittings, and make your own heat plate. There's no sense in paying someone an outrageous amount to drill a few holes! Jerry
