need a little help/ideas on a conversion

Hey folks,
Im am fiiting a 5.3 72mm turbo in an 50`s chevy. I am kinda stumped on two things. first is..how would yall suggest routing the lower hose from t-stat to the radiator?

Also ideas for air filter...4 inch inlet to turbo. I was thinking of getting a mandrel 90* and turn the filter down?

What do you think?

S&P, but they're pricey. Their LS stuff starts on page 80, your swivel necks are on page 90. Check the vendor sites and you can prolly find them cheaper.
