| Post subject: | Water Neck Interchange? |
What will swap with the stock Slant water neck?? I want to get one that is "Straight Out" rather than the stock / factrory 90* angle. Lou, I am getting that summit crossflow for ruster, like you have in the '64 What did you use? (for a water neck?) I need the straight up water neck to route the upper rad hose to the left side of the engine bay.( for the crassflow rad.) I need a similar one to get the thing (ruster) running. I am looking for one on summit now, but there's a lot to choose from. I have busted 2 older Rads putting on my electric fan, so it's time to upgrade. I was going to get this rad anyway...so might as well spend the dime now. Thanks all sages for you help! Greg |

The 318 and 440 are the same but the slant takes a smaller T- stat(diameter). Now I don't know what year they changed the small block late model intake but it may be a match for the size of the slant. They are smaller and are stamped steel.May work. |

Would This work? http://summitracing.com/parts/DCC-44520 ... refilter=0 it's for the 1979- 93 Small blocks. My main concern is the Bolt holes lining up and of course the t'stat Registereing in the housing correctly. Greg |

You could check around a see which engines use the same thermostat gasket-that would let you know what fits. |

Thanks! Yep 79 and newer LA Engines are the same as the slant. 78 and older are the bigger 2 1/4 T-stat Housing. Greg |

I bought one at Summit that was supposed to fit the '79 and later bb, but the hole spacing was still too wide. From what I could tell, none of those sold at Summit have the correct hole spacing for a /6. Someone had mentioned in an earlier post a chrome one from Mopar Performance that is supposed to fit, but I haven't located it yet. Moose |

Lou yup Summit charges a hefty price for the thing, but it fits. The holes are 5/16" on the stamped piece. I just drilled them out to 3?8" for the slant. Will work fine. Probably one from a boneyard LA engine post 79 will work for a lot cheaper! Greg |

I have to dig around the garage for some comparison but a 2.2/2.5 4cylinder style out let may work. nico |
