OK...
I'm thinkin of gettin a rside bbtb but it has no coolant hose nipples.
I can route the hose in a 'U' back into the block (the bypass DIY), but
Here's the thing...I live in Seattle and it gets pretty cold in the winter.
Is there a chance that the butterfly valve will freeze shut if no antifreeze
is connect to the bbtb? If so does any1 know where I can find a bbtb
WITH the coolant hose nipple?

There won't be any problem. The guys here (including me) are running the BBTB without the coolant line, and it gets down to -40c in the winter (try to get that in Seattle wink1.gif); never had a problem.
