Default Anyone got a pair of blower water relocators?

Weiand 177s - pair - thought I had room for thermostat housings but don't (the snouts are in the way) so looking for a pair of relocators or ideas if there is a better way.

I plan to run closed cooling without thermostat (not crossovers).

Thanks as always

Swamp

You will still want to run some type of restrictor plate in lieu of T stat. I would probably just run a 120* T stat.

They do make offsets for SC's

I am pretty sure I have a bunch of new ones up in our "attic" I'll try and remember to take a look later.

Thanks Griff - saw these but trying to cheap out if used ones are around.

To your comment above - this is a closed cooling setup so antifreeze running through block and manifolds - why do I need "restrictor"? Edumakate me Bro

I took a look, don't have those. I have 5 of these. I knew it was something thermostat related. Sorry

Not my picture but pretty sure I still have a water neck and t-stat housing on the shelf. Same as below. (minus the pipe fittings...)

The coolant can flow too fast and can leave hot spots/steam pockets toward the back of the engines.
