>From your resident ChumpCar team, we have the silly question of the day...

We
know we need to NOT run the hot water through the intake manifold while
racing...right?  Isn't that just for cold weather driveability (not much of a
concern on the race car...)  So do we just block both ends, or is that flow
path 
crucial to engine cooling and we need to run a hose anyway?  Yes, we are
running 
two stock strombergs, we don't have a choice...for now...

Thanks for
answering our series of silly questions.  We're reinstalling the 
engine
(built with the finest used parts, apart from gaskets, seals and freeze
plugs, that we can find...again, it's in the rules...) this weekend and
figured 
we'd better get an answer...

Thanks,
