Which one is better to heat the intake??? Take your pick! Too each his own!!!! Hope this helps and BTW....yes....if you want your engine to run efficiently, you will heat your intake!!
Hope this helps.

I made new clamps out of 1/4" stainless steel. I have had no leaks since.

It sure would make it easier to get everything started..would support the headers...slide the intake on the rings...you could even have the oem clamps in place.
Great idea! I'm changing out to my rebuilt engine Tuesday...will give it a shot and report back! Thanks for the tip Bill!!
