On your question about having no rear water cross over on the intake manifold. The Chevy engineers decided a long time ago that it wasn't necessary. Then came along the new and improved lt1 series small block... I believe and someone can certainly put me straight on this, when they did they changed some things. One of the changes was a new cooling system that uses a reverse flow water pump. The new design I believe utilizes a rear cross over.

Greg64 is right about them being the same so that they can be used on either side.

Congrats on your success keep it up!

God Bless, Terry
