It would have to be above or the rear hoses would cause it to bypass the thermo.

I just got done with mine .Everyone I talked to said it works 10-15deg .They talk about it in the big small blk book.The spacer is chevy and the thermo housing .They both use oring gaskets but i will use paper.
What if you went straight across with the lines or do they have to go the way you have them?
Does it help to goto the center of the head ?
I did this mod on my 360 with W5 heads. I don't think it runs any cooler but it cools down faster. Mine is a race only setup so that's important to me because my engine doesn't like to be above 160 when I leave the line.
I ran my hoses into the crossover below where the t/stat would be. I run an electric pump and fan without a t/stat., just a restrictor.
This pic is hard to see though
This one might be a little better.
