Interestingly enough, Chrysler doesn't seem to recognize this as a
"problem". Some racers do add a coolant return (or crossover) to the rear
cooling passages (through the intake manifold), yet the only aftermarket
manifold to offer this is Professional Products in their "crosswind"
manifold. (carb only, though)

Only in OBDII systems though. Still, if this was truly an "issue", I and
others should be able to pick up some power if we "corrected" this....right?
