That's what it's all about. You know. How far from ...uh... floor to ceiling? Make a new base from thinner stock?
It is an elegant design overall.
Maybe retrofit a jettier inlet? That way you needn't modify the block.
Directing the flow: also known as restricting the flow. That's good to a point when it happens where it should. All the redirection/restriction should be accomplished by heat bearing surfaces,
ideally. Otherwise it's just wasted energy. Adding a little wall to direct water toward the outlet won't do a thing; water already flows directly to the outlet, steering clear of the bottom. I can think of some changes that would demand other manufacturing techniques, so I won't mention them. I hope after the beer wears off you'll find a solution using the existing tooling.
Any chance the base is deflecting? If the fins come up full height they may be supported best by a metal (e.g. brass) top.
