True but the spout is at a 15 degree from vertical angle,
It does swivel 360 degrees on a vertical plane, and the spout will angle forward at a 15 degree angle when up, down, sideways, etc.

Ahhh I see what you are saying. This one says it's 90 degree, but it doesn't look quite straight in the image. https://www.flashpowerparts.com/bill...ine-clear.html

Default thermostat housing options

There is also an adapter out there that swaps a gen 1 sbc thermostat housing on a ls water pump. I have one for sale that is for the earlier truck water pump. I bought it on accident. I needed the one that adapts to a ls3 style. Let me know if you need it . 15 bucks shipped. Paypal or cash.
