Intake coolant ports
 

How much driveability(cold starting) would I lose if I left the coolant holes that flow water through the stock intake plugged?(bought teh engine w/ them plugged))

In Texas, I wouldn't worry about it. On hot days it will actually pay off by the intake charge not being heated as much.

that's kinda what I was thinking...thansk for the reply

ive blocked them off with 12x20mm freeze plugs on every motor in every 7 ive owned and have never noticed a difference, it really aids in manifold removal and installation as well.
