It's been a while since the 318 was used in boats and there's not too many
technical types in this news group anyway. So the chances of you getting an
answer are slim.

Now if you want to ask a question about president bush that's a different
story, you've come to the right place.

Chrysler 318 marine engine intake manifold has the casting between where
the thermostat goes and the right water intake to the manifold blocked.
This looks like it was made that way. Why? I am wanting to use this
manifold for automotive use. What can I do? It has a big hole in the top
of that about 1" pipe thread. Can I run a tee from there and 1 going to
water pump and other for heater?
