Thermostat neck for 68 440 with air - 04/13/19 10:06 PM
Working on a 68 charger with 440 and ac. The water neck is not straight up but come off at an angle to the alt side. Mine is steel and has some holes. Any source on new ones? I’d settle for alum or cast iron, either one.

I don't believe the angled neck is correct for a '68 B-body with A/C, the short straight neck was used and the hose has a short bend to clear the compressor.

That’s good to know, guys. We restored this car 15 years ago and it had the wrong motor and lots of wrong parts on it. Not sure where we found some of them but I do have a couple of 66-67 440 motors here at the shop that I pulled lots of parts from for the ac parts. I know more about 69-71 oem stuff. I do have new straight ones here already so with the right hose, we’ll be good.
