Yea I have seen it .
The braided lines do not look great on a traditional car but I could make something similar and the block is available they use . You can also T into a block with a radiator hose site out let and then use a inline thermostat .

When I spoke to Hot Heads I asked about the stock water pump needing the by p*** house if Iused there set up and was told no . You will notice the Chevy water pump conversions do not use a byp*** hose either . I was told I could block it off .

Another set up I saw was the owner used radiator with dual top inlets and ran two hoses with in line thermostats from each side of the intake it looked pretty good IMO

I have thread I started on maybe doing a home made u fab intake but with 2x4 carbs ir even one 4bbl , Id use a blower carb plate . There are pre cut intake flanges for about $70 and Id get some mandrel bent tubes to keep it low .

I have a mill and can modify a stock dry manifold . Id still like to avoid all that weight

Do you have a mill? Can be done without. Simplest and cheapest way to get a 4 barrel manifold.
