Rear intake coolant bypass

Pretty cool man, pretty cool indeed. Nice use of the noggin. How thick is that welded plate on the stat housing?
Also nice plenum work on the intake, spread to square.

Plate is .25" thick .750" wide x 1.500"ish long

Thanks, this is the 2nd one ive done. Like i tell all my buddies, "with a welder anything is possible!" lol.
