Sent you Pics....
Yep, block off plate in front of the water entrance to the block.....
In the rules of the contest you can't remotely mount the pump.
The return is from the bottom of the block to the thermostat housing on the front of the intake.

The only return appears to be from in between the center 2 ports which goes straight to the thermostat housing…

From the bottom of the block, you mean from in between the 2 center cylinders or something else?
any idea if in either one of these they have the normal water pump connectoin to the block blocked off? In this second set of pics it really looks like they have it plumbed so that the water flows bottom up like normal, but from the center up instead of from the front bottom back and then up...
Anyone have any input on if this kind of thing is worth doing?
