Right now it's not, but when I build the next one it will be that way. The carb heat valve flapper is a nice tight fit, but swings freely. The flapper is stainless steel, so is heavy enough to always return to the closed position with no other influence (it's supported on oil impregnated sintered bronze bushings. The way it is now, I could shut off both ram air and carb heat air, and starve the engine for air, which would not be good. I did a web page for it this morning, so see http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford/corvair/airbox/ for more details...
