Can anyone recomend a different thermostat housing for my 3.9 serp,the current one exits at around 2o/c when veiwed from the front,i need one that exits verticaly or even 11o/c, any ideas?

I've got a P6 (I think), which from memory exits either 11 or 12 o'clock.

I'll take a look tomorrow.

Thanks Chris, do you know if the bolt pattern is the same for all inlet manifolds/stats ?

They're all interchangeable as far as I'm aware......

I've got an EFi Range Rover one on a P6 inlet manifold in my Landie, and you're doing the opposite....

right i thought i had this sorted,
but is there another stat housing that would bring the outlet more upright instead of over to the right as per my engine set up now?

just making it difficult to get the top hose back round to the drivers side of the rad,.

There is this type which has the advantage of being horizontal which helps to avoid the top hose looping upwards above both the rad and the engine and cause an airlock.

It has the extra take off for the bypass from the P6 type pump but that could be blanked if necessary.

Tony could you not cut 'n' shut your std one? With a bit of ally welding you can have it point whatever direction you want!

thats an option tom,
but to save time and money if there was one that would do then that was the way i was going

Tony,

It's fitted to an Edelbrock Performer manifold and without digging into my old file I can't tell you where I got it.

I'll dig the file out tomorrow and let you know, it may have been V8 conversions at Farnborough Kent as it's the one for the MGB V8.

Tony! Interested in selling your housing if you get sorted with another? That's the one I've been after for a while but not been able to locate one!

that one any good? Exits straight up.

Tried a swap with someone on here for another type but it hit my fuel rail unfortunately.
