Posted this in Q&A, no response.

I'm swapping from an M1 to an Indy Intake on my Magnum based 408, what T-Stat housing is going to fit? One from an LA intake?

Bolt center on the Indy is 3.25".

Thanks

440 Source makes a billetz one too for 25.00, but I don't know the bolt spread. Guess it's the same for early LA and big blocks, 3.25".

Ive heard that its the chrome on the face of the mating surface that causes the leaks, not the neck itself.

They will interchange, but if you plan to run a thermostat that's where they are different. IIRC the mopar housing has a relief for the thermostat and the SBC has relief milled into the intake.

Good info Rod! I am running a t-stat, so I guess I will have to stay with the leaky stuff....My Mr. Gasket mopar one needed a ton of RTV to finally not leak

Mine leaked because it would warp. I had two and filed them flat on a regular basis. They were mounted with studs and torqued to spec. They warped anyway. Bought the o-ringed neck and no leaks to date. Been 4 years now.
