I'm starting this thread as a place to post pictures of the stock thermostat housing and find out if it's something that can be remade in billet and possibly improved upon. Who knows where this will go from here, but I figured I would at least try. I *myself* do not have the ability to make something like this, although there are a few people on this forum that can. If necessary I can even send a stock thermostat housing for development purpose.
A couple of questions I hope this thread will answer:
1. Are there other people out there missing/broken thermostat housings that need one?
2. Is the stock housing a fragile part that breaks or is susceptible to corrosion?
3. Can the housing be improved upon over stock?
I happen to have a couple cylinder heads that didn't come with the thermostat housing unfortunately. Thankfully I was able to get a couple of the thermostat outlets that lengel had made a while back. The are very nice pieces made from billet aluminum. I still don't have the housing itself though, and I doubt I will ever find stock one for sale.
