    Cobra Earl CNC Machined Thermostat housing

    New never been used Cobra Earl Thermostat housing. Description here: https://tdmotion.com/product/427w-fo...t-housing-kit/
    302 – 427w Ford Ultra Thermostat Housing Kit
    This CNC Machined thermostat Housing Assy entails 4 pieces. A lower 90 degree Housing. Mid Housing with the 1.5 Radiator hose outlet, Fill Neck and Billet Aluminum 16lbs Radiator Cap. Small Block Fords are notorious for trapping air in the cooling system which leads to “Hot Spots” in the cooling System.

    In some applications the intake manifold is the highest point in the cooling system. This filler neck kit allows the system to be filled from the intake manifold to minimize air pockets. Features provisions for two 1/4″ NPT intake manifold bypass fittings, a provision for 1/2″ NPT sensor fitting and left or right radiator hose orientation. CNC machined from 6061 billet aluminum. Includes an o-ring seal fill neck, 1/8″ NPT x 5/16″ hose overflow fitting, thermostat gasket and stainless hardware.

    Sells now for $347.95. Asking $165. A beautiful addition to your 302-427. Prefer Pay Pal and PM me.

    Just out of curiosity how come your not going to use it? I’ve seen and thought about one of those quite a bit. Has anyone had any experience with one of those? HECK of a deal at $165!!!

    I had one on my #7750 build. Very nice improvement from the usual SBF thermostat housing setup plus eliminates the in-line T-filler. Highly recommended. This is a smoking deal.

    Been so long not quite sure. What i have is fine. Cleaning out like most of us on here. When I looked for Cobra Earl I saw his products are not available from him directly. Knew he had health problems some time ago. Edward B good seeing you still around.

    Hi Paul, this is Cathy Kurts wife. Will you take $150 for it?
    I know he really wants it, I would do anything to bring a smile
    to his face.

    P.S. I’m pretty impressed with myself for finding
    your post..
