magnum thermostat housing

so im putting a 97 magnum 360 in my a-100 using the edelbrock rpm airgap intake..
i need a thermostat housing
edelbrock says to use that 6inch tall one that the magnum used originally...
there has to be a better option..
i was looking at the thermostat housing for the 79 up small block and it looks right but the holes are just a little off...
maybe ream them to fit??
the tall one is perfect to get around the ac unit on the late models but it just looks stupid and my radiator hose just isnt right with it on there...
what is everybody else using??...
