All the exhaust crossover does is route exhaust gases through the intake to warm it up at startup. Not nescessary, I have them on my Weiand but blocked them off for better performance, You won't have an EGR mount on it though. -CP
: I just purchased an Eldelbrock Air-gap intake for my '77 mav with a 302 and I am very excited about hooking it up. One question though, the manifold states that it does not have an exhaust cross over. Do I need that? I feel a little dumb for ordering the part and not checking first. My state doesn't have an original equipment,"under the hood" check for emmisions so if I don't need it I will be legal to install it. I also purchased an Edelbrock performer 750 cfm carb, so the combo should rock.
: The intake and carb are a bit much for the stock exhaust and heads but I plan on upgrading those very soon, one step at I time I guess.
: thanks
