Thermostat Housing "REPRO"
Has anyone ever tried to repro these? I'm finding the cost of these is ridiculous, IMO. Thank God I have one for my 88. I do need more for other projects though.

Re: Thermostat Housing "REPRO"
I've heard it said there is a remote thermostat assembly from Ford Mustangs that may work however, I've never checked this out to confirm if this is possible.

Re: Thermostat Housing "REPRO"
Took my housing to the fab shop this morning for a quote. I'll know more tomorrow.
I told them I wanted somethiing that would perform and function as original. It will not look identical but will function properly.

Re: Thermostat Housing "REPRO"
Hi Brett,
I have had two people borrow a thermostat housing so that they could copy it. Neither of them followed through to reproduce it. I have never heard of a source for the thermostat housing. We need a new source for it. Branden Coe is stripping a '93 in California. Maybe he still has it available. Marc |

Re: Thermostat Housing "REPRO"
Local rod builder has a mid year with a LT5 he is building. No thermostat housing. Made a plate to hold a small thermostat for each water neck, looks like it should work.
