manifold coolant bypass?

would there be a benefit to run bypass hoses from the rear water jacket ports on my Performer RPM manifold to the T-stat housing? This would make a small bypass of the t-stat and help water circulate to the rear of the block, no?

thanks

I've seen people connect systems to the rear of motor....they claim it helps with cooling...but I've never done so myself....

Re: manifold coolant bypass?

thats what i figure, there is really not a lot of water circulating at the back of the block, this would help. I think?
