This will sound retarded, so please be patient...I have had a couple of Full Sails and I think "three sheets" applies....I don't know who drank these other four empties though


If you track the path of the water;

from the jetpump, water goes to the T-stat housing I will get to you, the T-stat housing has one inlet and three outlets. One 3/4" inlet, one 1 3/4" outlet and two 5/8" outlets (estimated sizes)..

The one large outlet will connect directly to the inlet on the engine mounted water pump (which I believe I also have)...That water pump will recirculate the water in the block until the thermostat opens, there is always some water bypassing the stat to keep the other two outlets feeding water (for the exhaust)  which brings me to the two other outlets, these normally go to the exhaust logs, but with headers, one will go to the header control valve, the other to an overboard dump line....

This setup actually makes alternator brackets easier and belt geometry a little better...

I left my camera at a jobsite today, but I will have it tomorrow...Been busier than a three legged cat covering shit in sawdust during a tornado...

Oh yeah, call ya tomorrow.

Hey GT, your drunk posting is much more coherent than Beerjets   

I'm very impressed that you could get that info about the cat posted without sluring your words 

Frank, what do you need a pic of? This is as atraight forward as it gets....

Mount a factory GM style water pump and you're done...Put the motor in the boat...finito...make sure all the other holes, other than the t-stat housing are plugged with something or other...Also, if the heads have water temp sensor holes, use one of those, they work better in the heads than in the intake. 

I will see is I have a pic of my Carrera motor...

Very straight forward

GT

The thermostat outlet (large hose, like the upper radiator hose on a car) goes right to the water pump, I know it sounds screwy, but trust me it works great...

There are two water outlets on the stat housing, one goes overboard, the other to the header control valve...If you were to run logs, one hose to each log (they use way more water flow to keep them cool)...

I will get some pictures of the housing, I can't get to my Carrera's small block right now...

GT

SO I JUST NEED A SPECIAL HOSE FROM THE WATER PUMP TO THE THERMOSTAT. BIG TO SMALL AND VOALA. JUST WANT TO KNOW WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE? IF ANY BODY WANTS TO GET RID OF ONE ILL TAKE IT?

SOOOOO???

Sorry bro, been on call (San Francisco last night )  I will get it from the shop tomorrow.....

Right now I have the tv on (Bourne Supremacy)  and just sort of hangin', dog ass tired....
