I have some pics of what are supposedly FD rotor housings. They have a few differences versus other housings i've seen. See the areas circled in green. I am wondering if it would be smart to try and replicate these features on earlier housings. I think the grooves in the legs are to better hold the sealant, but the groove in the coolant jacket i dont know what it could be for?

FYI, I just checked my 95 FD housings and they do have those features.
