Water bypass hoses question?

You can see on my big block I am now using one of the intake holes for my temp sender and the other for a water pump bypass.

Had to wipe the drool off my chin....looks awesome! Mind if I copy your plumbing?

That reminds about someone last week at a car show asked me if I was a plumber, I laughed and said only on the weekends.
Here are some better views, I plumbed my entire car with stainless braided hose.

😀 That's awesome! Very nice work, hope to get mine to look that good! I still need to dial in my 770cfm Holley carb and take it to the local track for a test and tune.

Do you happen to remember the length of bolts you used to bolt on the thermostat housing adapter?

The water neck spacers are usually about an inch tall so you would need your bolts to be about an inch longer than they currently are, I use allen bolts and have two different lengths on my water neck and I had to cut down the long one since no makes the exact length I needed.

Cool appreciate the info....I used ARP 12 point point stainless bolts. They are expensive but I will never have to worry about them snapping off or rusting.
