Intake filler/ thermostat housing combo

The cap is just a safety valve for pressure - whichever is rated lower pops first. Unless you find one specifically rated temp and pressure, like a boiler safety relief valve, you're overthinking it. Drill an 1/8" hole in the thermostat for bleeding air, works great and helps draining too.

Simple as that ^^^^^
I have never had to prop up the front end of one my cars ever.
The hole in the thermostat and a recovery system.
A drive or two later and ZERO air in it.
