Ok so here is the situation.
i just got in a LS6 intake for my 454. It is going to get matched to a set of rectangle port brodix race rite heads.
here is the issue.
there is no place to screw in my temp sender.
on my current intake, the temp sender is screwed on the top of the intake beside the hole the thermostat housing bolts to.
here is my question.
can i drill and tap the water jacket in this LS6 intake for the temp sender.
or
the water bypass hose between the pump and the intake. i have read that if you have a thermostat with a hole drilled in it you can remove that bypass hose and plug the holes.
i could use the hole in the intake for the bypass to screw in the sender if i can indeed stop using that.
i have looked all over the heads for a place to screw in the sender but there are no plugs period on these heads for a place like that.
