It certainly couldn't hurt and would be fairly easy with that manifold.

If I were you I would get two crossovers connect them via a small braided line. It's fairly easy to have someone weld a coupld of 4AN fittings on them.

That said GM didn't seem to think it was worth the effort to plumb them rear of the heads together, in fact on newer LS stuff the holes in the back come plugged (making left and right heads now).

I run my steam crossover directly into my water pump rather than running it to my radiator. Looks cleaner
