I am having the same problem with clearance with a 46 Chevy and a LS lower inlet hose fitting
Sure thing - the swivel housing for the water inlet and thermostat works really well - it positions the inlet pipe directly down towards the radiator instead of directly into the inner fender:








As far as the thermostat position goes - the thermostat rests in exactly the stock position. The swivel part only rotates the outlet itself - the thermostat doesn't swivel with it. This was a really helpful part for making the engine bay work on my truck and would probably help with the 46 as well!
