when you weld up the intake make you a plug for the one that is still showing in your Photo.And weld that up and you'll be just fine. The stock plugs on the offey intake will leak.Because those runners were only ment for Heat from the stock exhaust manifold.Like i said other then that you will be fine.
A 2cent thought If you have room think about maybe adding a small box/channel at the other plug and tap you a water outlet line there.Then you'll have full flowing water under the intake.
God doesn't like ugly.
