Anyone else?

Has anyone here bolted onto an Edelbrock intake 2101 onto a LG4 305 engine and run into a fitment problem? My OEM thermostat housing is slightly interfering with my thermovalve (On the water neck). The height of the intake manifold raised the carb up so that the OEM fuel line will not bolt on. Anyone got a solution?

Problem solved. I got a couple of different thermostat housing from Hawks Perfomance, and was finally able to get the problem fixed.
