Intake manifold help .

I bought a Indy - Mod-man 2X4 intake , after install of it then the water pump, I discovered there isn't a bypass fitting. (see pic) Any thought of what my options are?

run something like this and spud it.

You can drill and tap that boss to 3/4 NPT or plug the water pump off. Take your pick.

 

[pishta]

also see that flat boss in front? Thats where you would drill and tap for a bypass nipple.

Thanks' Rusty and pishta for your suggestions.

and if U skip the bypass hose, do not use a thermostat, and do not worry about it
