Re: Fan stat/ Water temp ports
It looks like you are using an SBC for an engine. Does your water pump have one of these outlets on top of it, like this one? Can you use it? Or maybe something like this in the link below?

Re: Fan stat/ Water temp ports
Any port on the water pump is not ideal. They’re intake ports.
They make thermostat housing spacers like this. Likely better than the hose fitting. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/m...SABEgI5cPD_BwE |

Re: Fan stat/ Water temp ports
I should have been more specific i guess, lol, i can see what i have available, one on intake, one on each head, and heater hose connections, i guess i was looking for things like dual adaptors, t fittings etc...but im thinking the best and cleanest option is to just use the head port and a heat sleeve. To protect the sensor and wires
