Chrysler doesn't recognize it, but myself and a large amount of service
techs all agree on the issue. The normal fix is: (2) 3/8" barbed hose
fittings drilled and tapped into the rear coolant passage block-offs on the
manifold, and a 3/8" line across the rear of the manifold. Works well.
Some of the OBDI systems do have misfire monitor capability and the injector
drivers work almost the same. So you're thinking what...about 25HP with the
crossover eh? ;)

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?
