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:

Camaro6spd: Picky picky...If you want info on engine swap, check motor swap board... BTW, why was this dredged up from December? Too much has happened since then...

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!
