I am going drill a hole and add a fitting and hose on the rear of my intake and route it to the front somewhere to help evenly cool my engine.
The rear of my engine stays hotter than the front. I know this because I moved the temp sender and it showed 20-30* hotter. I installed two temp senders and have swapped them several times and always get the same readings, hotter in the rear.
Pics and suggestions are welcomed.

What most do is use intakes that have the holes tapped in the rear for the water passages, and route them to a waterneck spacer such as THIS (http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=MEZ%2DWN0028R&N=700+4294872710+4294924500+4294839037+4294908216+ 4294840140+4294925061+4294801541+115&autoview=sku)

I was going to buy one of these but I think my intake (Vortec RPM airgap) runner will be to close to it unless I ran them from the front of it. Hmmm, never seen them ran from the front. I'll have to check for this clearance.
Just wondered if anyone ran them anywhere else?

HERE (http://www.jegs.com/p/JEGS/750809/10002/-1) is a water bypass kit from Jegs....

I just wish I could find a water neck spacer with a single inlet in the middle, and then run a bypass like on a BBC. I put my bypass back on my bbc to have it warm up quicker.
