I will post photos and details of the setup in the near future. I just don't have the time right now to document the detail of what is involved (both the mechanical and the circuit required). It does require a 1" aluminum plate machined to mount the heater and marry to the bottom of the intake manifold like the exhaust does. The Al plate is more involved machining wise than the coolant adapter plate you see offered.
