Hey guys! I'm trying to get some things buttoned up on my 292. I think I am correct in assuming I can use the small port on the passenger side of the Tstat housing to supply the heated water to the manifold. However....in my opinion running a bulky hose up over the top of the engine would look like hell. I was wondering if anyone makes a spacer that fits under the Tstat housing with a tapped port on the drivers side.

Would this work? One review said it does not work with GM tstat

Just thinking outside the box here, but could I use the passenger side upper port and run the line around the front of the radiator and then back into the engine bay on the passenger side to the manifold. I know this would be a loooong line but I am just trying to figure out a way to keep the engine bay tidy.

Also am I correct in assuming the lower port in the Thousing was the factory return from the heater?? If so what is the small top port used for on the water pump?
