[DeTomaso] Intake installation tips?

[redvobra at aol.com]

 I hear ya, so something wacky is going on! Take a look at this photo, I have marked the holes in red:

 They were full of coolant. I thought it was weird as hell that the gasket just covers them and that there are no corresponding holes that match up to the intake. Let me know what you think!

  Um. No. 
 
 The 351C head has a water jacket in it yes, but it is ONLY accessible from the block side (combustion chamber side) of the head. The side facing the intake has zero, zilch, nada, none, as in it ain't got any holes at all for water on the intake side. 
 
 Therefore if it is leaking, it is coming from the head gasket, not an intake gasket (because there are no coolant holes facing the intake. 
 
 Now, if that is what you meant Chris, my apologize, I didn't understand your post properly.
