Might have one of these freeze plugs leaking. First attempts at PVC systems replaced the draft tube with a fitting and hose to bottom of carb.

+1. If you've got water coming from back there it can really only be the freeze plugs or the intake leaking. When I put the 350 in my '57, upon filling the radiator I had a massive leak back there and it turned out to be a busted freeze plug.... Talk about aggravated, had to pull the trans back out to put a new one in.
