Another dumb question
 

I know this is going to sound dumb but I believe a dumb question is one that you don't ask. If you go to my racespace and look at the engine that I have as my default there are to lines on the intake (one on each side) that run from the front to the back of the intake......what are these lines for. I just recently got this engine (421sbc) and I have seen them on engines before but have never known what they were for. Thanks in advance for the help.

without seeing the pictures it sounds like it is for the water to flow through

Sorry you can't see the pic. If I had an email I could send it to and have posted, that would be appreciated. I am just computer illiterate (sp?)

Thanks

Lines running rear to front or center to front are to make cooling a little more even. Not too critical in a drag motor, but may help a little.

Thanks for the help

I've found they help get air out of the system faster also. Especially with a lot of drag radiators being lower than the motor.

Yes those Lines are more of a Transfer cooling Line,from front to rear on the Intake.
