L6 with headers heat to carb

[old51sedan]

Looking for some information on installing heat to the carb on my truck using an Offenhauser intake and cast iron headers. I have purchased a plate from Offenhauser to bolt to the bottom of intake below the carb, it came with brass fittings to a water hose on. I'm sure a few of you folks have used this method, was looking for pro's and con's of doing this, also hopefully pictures of how you routed the hoses and how you tapped into the heater hoses. Has anyone had a problem with leakage, I was planning on making a gasket, I doubt if you can buy one. Appreciate any help you can offer.

My brother's 56 with a 235 isn't plumbed and hasn't has any issues.
However in central ca weather probably 40° as cold as it gets driven in.

What type of header do you have?

Here is a setup on a Fenton header for heat from the exhaust.

I just installed vintage air and heat in this truck. These are the same headers that I have on my 235 in my 51 sedan and I have the same installation on it. It works great on my car. These headers on my truck were not drilled and tapped like the Fenton ones, I've been thinking of drilling a hole in each exhaust pipe right below the headers and welding a nut over it such as they do with an oxygen sensor to run the tubing too. Seems logical to me, how does that sound to you folks?
