Ford XLD calorifier take off points

[tritonofnor]

about to add a calorifier to my fords. Found one tap off where the cooling water returns to the circuit, but there's no obvious blank on the block for a calorifier feed pipe. Access is a little restricted and I can't see a damn thing! Any ideas where I should be looking, before I phone Mike at Lancing Marine?

On my WaterMota Sea Panther I was advised to take the calorifier feed from the forward end of the block replacing the temperature sender which was relocated to a the core plug at the rear. It is important to add a 1/8" orifice because the calorifier is in effect by-passing the heat exchanger; and you risk undercooling the engine until the water in the calorifier is hot, and then you risk overheating.
