Thank you, didn't know about the redesign. I think I will just use the forward port on the top of the head on the passenger side, I'm guessing the flow would come from the back of the engine toward the T-stat, or maybe it comes from below, around the cylinders and then forward, either way, I think that location will be the closest I will get short of fabricating a spacer to go below the T-stat.
Cheers!
