BBK intake owners come on in I'm in the process of installing heads/cam/intake/exhaust on my 98 vette. The 98 vette has the x-style crossover coolant pipe (I'm not sure of the correct name for this piece) rather than the rear plugs and the front only cross over pipe. My questions:
1)Will this x-style coolant pipe fit under the BBK manifold?
2)Should I replace it with the newer style? If so, where might a fella get this set up?
3)What is the correct name of this piece so I know what to look for when trying to find gaskets for this?

my bbk intake fit fine with the stock cross over tube. i belive in the paper that comes with the intake it tells you to grind down the heads on the back bolts on the bottom of the intake to clear the rear tube. use locktite on the bottom bolts too i had a couple come loose.
