Yes who would put the stat there?  ::)

That all in one plenum/intake manifold must be a right bastid to get out, seeing as they don't just lift out.  :-\

The stat is actually perfectly positioned from a design/operation perspective.

The stat on a 3.0l Ford V6 is in a similar place, it just has less stuff around it.
