4500 to 4150 flange on this intake
looking to install a crossover on my engine. the problem is that my intake is a little rough in the thermostat area. it wont properly hold a thermostat. I have a dart off of a 500hp. i run in frehwater. i have the 4150 800 holley off of a 500hp as well. i was looking at this intake (link below) seems to be a good single plane. and looking at this flange (link below) will this hinder my performance. looks like the taper will make it look like a big diamond shape. anyone running this combo? any other suggestions. And i DO want to run a thermostat. I could just bolt up the crossover and run no thermostat but i have mixed emotions. my friends hustler has wesco engines in it and it has oil thermostats (which i have) and no coolant thermostat. should i just go that direction? I have a hard time as is getting my oil temps above 160 anyways.

Looks like your going to have over $320 in that set up after shipping. Why not just kick in another $20 and get the right one.

Or if you want to save some money get this one and clean it up.

Also that one you refered to is for a tall deck. Is that what you need?

Fixer,
Without a picture its hard to say, but if your present intake is aluminum and the rest of it is in good shape, I bet it would be less than a $100 job to weld it up and remachine a good seat for the thermostat. Or maybe just make a small 1/8" thick "repair" plate to hold the thermostat ? Actually sounds like a good product to make ?

Thank for the info. Yeah, my water temp never goes over 140 running hard it actually drops to around 135. if im cruising at a higher rpm (like 3800) i can get 145-147 out of the coolant temp. oil temps stay low as well. should i just keep what i got or get rid of that circ pump? Is it really worth it. The weight, the hoses and stuff, and the power it robbs?
