Ok, so what if I cross-drilled channels a bit larger over the core, since I want more flow there? I know, it depends on the thickness of the base plate.
So ECUPirate's NEW revised design would still have the flow going through mostly the center cross channels, I can see that. I've been toying with this manifold idea for years, and I know that it's not easy to get even flow. But do we want even flow, given that the heat comes from the area touching the core? Again, I think that it depends on the thickness of the baseplate.
ECU: I think that what myv65 is saying is that in the first pic, the flow would be concentrated at the rear channels, because the water coming in would have a tendancy to flow right past the first few cross-holes, but if the manifold was bigger, it would act differently.
