The two on the plate are the inlets. the two on the intake are the outlets.
Water flows through the block up through the heads and into the intake and out. If you plug the connections on the intake , water wont circulate through the heads and you can imagine what thats going to lead to.

you need a bassett T valve on one side of the intake outlet and lines going from the T to each header, the other fitting on the intake outlet goes overboard. the drawing shows bassett T and 2 gate valves
