That should do fine. Just plumb those upper two outlets on the t-piece to the inlets on the lower sides of the EMIs. I'd also suggest a 1/8" hole drilled in the t-stat to ensure flow to the manifolds while the engine warms up.

You will need to install a couple of Y fittings since you have 4 outlets from the thermostat housing and only 2 inlets on the exhaust. The Y fitting will join the 2 outlet hoses from the thermo housing into 1 that will go into the exhaust.

You would be better off with a two outlet housing, those pressure ball housings are for heated manifold. The spring loaded balls are there to insure water to the risers before the Tsat opens. Also a two port housing will cost about $100! Check the two offered by San Juan in this link http://www.partman.com/cooling.html?cat=5559&p=4 you will need to drill a 1/4" hole in the Tsat.

I just went though this whole ordeal - order the Stainless housing and be done with it. I got mine for $168.00 P/N 18-1989 Here's the link and it was free shipping!

Check out my old thread.

Hope this is helpful, by the way the thermostat housing DOES have an internal bypass built inside it, its not a spring loaded deal but its a small little passage way.

You will need 2 Y pipes per engine and plumb it this way see pic
