Looking at the video the reason you have the side mounted thermostat is because at some point someone changed the water manifold/ thermostat housing to the 1967-69 type, could be because there was a upper radiator hose that fit without modifications. A similar situation on 67-69 trucks is to use an inline six upper radiator hose with a 75-81 Pontiac V8 firebird thermostat housing.
