Anyone use a wet N20 plate system with this manifold swap? If not, can anyone forsee clearance issues?

has anyone thought about going through the front of the head into the water jacket?just in theory it seems that you may be able to drill and tap for a 90* fitting(3/8) and bend s/s lines behind the accessories(may have to space accessories forward a little)then you may be able to hide the remote t-stat housing under the intake elbow onlu thing is getting the upper radiator hoseto bend under there for a clean install.:lala:

I am in the midst of modifying the intake manifold and will be aiming for install within the next month. I had hoped that you may be able to shed some light on any other 'developments' you encountered along the way - possibly any other feedback you could give me on the outcome. It's my daily driver so I am hoping for as little downtime as possible.
Thanks!
