I've been on the waiting list with precision for some time now. The owner and I had some dialog way back where he was doing some design work for a unit that is better suited for street and can be used with a thermostat...this is what I understood from our conversation.

Holes are drilled and tapped. Elbows needed to be “clocked” so tapping was stopped at the point of proper orientation when tightened. No epoxy.
You could always drill and tap another hole in a Meziere spacer on the opposite side and plug the one not used. Just a thought.
To me, one of the most enjoyable parts of building something non stock is figuring out things and making them work. It also makes it “yours” and sets you apart from the masses.
Here’s a couple of pics from my first non stock cooling system. I designed and built it in the late ‘80s. Pics aren’t that old though. Modified Weiand front cover, hand made adapters to use a SBC electric water pump on top of a home made front motor plate. The Algon injection is just sitting there, I never ran it. Not in the pics is a custom billet thermostat housing with radiator cap because the radiator was lower. It all worked great.
