Thermostat housing options

[oldirish]

Everything tried interferes with the compressor or intake. I also would like an option for a temp sensor. Anything like that available?

did you try the stock steel housing? several out there with extra holes for sensors.

If that's a Magnum-sized thermostat (not the large earlier LA size), then you could look into Chevy thermostat housings like this one from an early '90s Corvette:

P.S.- Why did you eliminate your bypass? Just wondering...

I had to modify my A/C pump's rear cover due to interference issues with the hose & housing because of the single-plane EFI intake I'm running.

The bypass reportedly helps the engine warm up faster for emissions purposes, and my builder said just plug it because there's no room for it.

I shortened up my bypass slightly and welded in a bung for a temperature sensor. Seems to work well.

You have me, i don't know but I'll ask the builder. I have the Sniper 2 efi which needed an extra temp sensor.
