Chrome Thermostat Housing?

prob for v8 - thus bigger

I think there was a DC one

but chrome is hard to make not leak , alum can be sanded easy to give it a bite to the hose and gasket or silicone

I know TU sells one, that is o-ringed. In the JEGS caalog they have another one that looks the exact same as well. Has a 1 1/4 inch outlet, which I believe is the size of our upper rad hose ends as well.

And I hear a lot of horror stories about chrome and not sealing, though me and my buddy chromed the hell out of his pontiac 400 and it didn't leak a drop. I must have gotten lucky.

o ring grouve is good place for silicone - that's how I mount water pump to block

silicone , then push o ring into grouve and bolt on , never had a leak , but then I've never put somthin together that leaked

gen electric high heat silicone is best stuff ever , but I can't get it anymore

I liked the fel -pro print o seal 2.2 h gaskets too - don't rot like dodge ones
