Have you thought about adding some hose on each side of the intake to front water crossover for 4 corner cooling ? Would give it that old NASCAR look and would help prevent Detonation and Pre-Ignition.

This is a bit extreme, but you get the idea.

I have those valve covers polished and clear coated, very nice. The 4 corner cooling set up has been done by a few on here and ROP. Sorry, I thought you were talking about the serpentine set up.

You can bolt the passenger bracket on, just cut the bottom piece off. The drivers side needs a custom plate made, trust I tried, only one bolt lined up. I cobbled it together, just would hold together. I used the diesel reverse rotation pump which needed the brackets spaced out about an inch. I redrilled the bottom pulley and ground the edges to clear the top pulley. The sbf bottom pulley supposedly works well. I will figure out the issues and redo this year. As far as the 4 corner cooling, quite a few have done it, hard to say how much it helps.
????? im completely lost

It's not too hard to do but it will set you back a few bucks.

Just buy 4 AN fittings that have that nice 90 degree mandrel bend and about 6ft. of braided hose and run the hose from each rear water passages to those two holes on each side of the water crossover passage on the front of the intake on each side of thermostat.

It was just a thought, I don't run 4 corner cooling on my street motor but I polished the combustion chambers on my heads on my engine to help prevent detonation/pre-ignition.
