Just got a thought. Could I run a hose from the heater hose outlet on the water pump to the bypass inlet on the intake and cap off the bypass? It would still be getting that bypass coolant, just not as much. All I need is a 3/4" NPT fitting with a 5/8 "nipple, which I have found, and a piece of 5/8" hose with a 90 degree bend, which I have also found. I also have an NPT plug that's just the right size to plug the bypass outlet on the water pump. Sounds like a lot, but I think it's easier than trying to find a 1" hose with the right bend and twist to reach from the bypass.
