Anyone have more pictures of the water pump outlet block, standalone and installed on plane? Trying to see the clearance with a side throttle attached. From the picture online, it looks like 2 tapped ports on the side. The top one for temp and/or pressure sensor and the bottom one for the coolant overflow bottle return? You'd almost need a 90' bend on the bottom tapped port to clear the side I'm guessing.

I see some people have nice metal welded overflow tanks, anything in particular to look for regarding aviation?

I attached a little coolant flow diagram I found on the web. Gives you an idea on flow direction.

Here are a few.

I have some dwgs in IGES or STEP if you have Rhino or Solid Works.

I have come to the conclusion it is possible to move the slide throttle out
far enough to clear a  tubing bend. The RX8 p-port idles much better with the
side exhaust ports so no need to keep the slide throttle so close to the
block.

Some Corvettes had nice metal over flow tanks.

Paul,

I sent some pics of the H2O block with slide throttle on my 20b in a separate email.

I think I have them. They are on the bottom of the front page of the website.
I assumed Matt saw them.
