BAD MECHANICS - Thermostat and Radiator Fan Blade

We couldn't find another location for the heat sensor.
The have ordered a different thermostat housing.
Yes, planned on getting rid of the acordian!
They mentioned a shroud. But, we''ll have to follow temps after the things we are already doing.
Ordered a 16 inch FlexBlade from Summit Racing.
(These things will hopefully keep us from having to lift the rad, as that would have been overall more expensive to do. And not sure what interferance that would create.)
what kind of manifold is that? it doesn't have a provision for a sensor? wild.

what is the limiting factor in raising the radiator? a piece of box tube underneath and pop holes where they need to be and you should be solid, no?
