Swivel Neck Thermostat Housing
Good evening people
Hope your looking forward to the summer now.
I am thinking of buying one of those 90 Degree Swivel Water Neck Thermostat Housings
Q" are they any good? Do they seal OK and last ?

Re: Swivel Neck Thermostat Housing
I have never used one, so can’t give factual feedback. I assume the better quality ones are the ones to go to.
I think Chevy BB & Mopar BB use the same style, so can give you more options. Please double check though

Re: Swivel Neck Thermostat Housing
I’m not sure I see the benefit?
Fair ‘nuff if it’s something you fancy, but I don’t see how it could have the same integrity as a solid piece.
I stand to be corrected, though.

Hello Stu

That makes sense.
Note to self, don’t drink on a school night. I don’t even remember posting that.

Re: Swivel Neck Thermostat Housing
Well That didn't go according to plan, apparently the flange is not! symmetrical, and the bolt holes only line up in one position
Back to the drawing board
