Front plate/ water pump question

Ah of course, you make a great point. I'm just over here trying to find a solution for a problem that doesn't exist haha.
This is a track-only, 3/4filled block, just wanting to do everything I can to make sure I can regulate temp.
This is what you need, billet timing chain cover that gets rid of that cross over.
