BILLET SBF Thermostat Housing

A BRAND NEW CobraEarl product for Small Block Ford engines…A NEW THERMOSTAT HOUSING. For years, Small Block Ford enthusiasts have had three options for their thermostat housings:
1. The standard housing. [Mad]

2. The same one in chrome or. [Roll Eyes]

3. Make something yourself. [Eek!]

At the same time, our Chevy buddies have had many, many choices of thermostat housing and filler necks. Filler necks with chevy bases are available in Billet ones, blue ones, red ones, chrome ones, big ones and sexy ones. (using a filler neck with a chevy base will not be a sin, as they are all after market products and not from GM!!) [Big Grin]

What I have invented * is a NEW THERMOSTAT HOUSING [Cool]

that:
1. allows the use of these many Chevy filler necks and
2. allows you to mount your thermostat in a higher position and
3. Allows you to mount your thermostat on a horizontal plane or the old vertical plane.

MY new thermostat Housing is CNC Machined billet 6061-T6 aluminum. It bolts directly to the intake manifold. You supply a filler neck that bolts directly above the thermostat housing. I supply the Billet Thermostat Housing and 4 stainless bolts and a bypass hose barb as used on most small block ford intakes.

I also make available for you to order, factory gaskets and the factory 190-degree thermostat that has the small, air bleeder valve. Prices for the "Motorcraft" gaskets and "Motorcraft" thermostat are posted below. Buy using the factory air bleeder valve thermostat and placing it in a higher location, some of our issues with filling the system with antifreeze solution should be lessened.

IF you plan to POLISH your Thermostat Housing, buy the cheaper natural aluminum billit unit.... Its VERY HARD to polish anodized aluminum.

I will also be posting photos of filler necks (sources and prices) that can be used with my thermostat housing. But, you can go to your Jegs and Summit Catalogues and find them in the Cooling or Radiator sections.

ALSO/HOWEVER, I am in the final design stage with my machine shop to make a new filler neck that is somewhat similar to the 026-AC-FN1 Swivel Filler Neck by Aerospace Components. You can find this filler neck in your Jeg's Catalogue. Mine will be taller (4.5”) and it will have the side hose attachment bib higher. It will not be tapered which will allow it to hold more antifreeze solution or to trap more air. It will fill the system at its highest point and eliminate the trapped air from your cooling system. Like the Aerospace unit, it will have a swivel base and be made of billet.

My new BILLET thermostat housing can also be used on Mustangs and Street Rods with Small Block Ford Engines.
