With all the talk of H bodies I want to get one to put my supercharged 3800 in. Now that would be fun! 400ftlbs in a small package and hardly any weight.

 

[dr_frankenstein]

lol......... thats funny...... too bad your not closer id have the perfect car for ya....

 

[MNcarbturbo]

They make transport trucks for a reason! Haha! Unfortunately the last thing I need is a 4th gen without a motor, and a Skyhawk witch I wouldnt be able to drive in the winter at all especially when I dont even have a winter car and it snows 6 months out of the year here. Bah!

If its still around next summer I might have to look into it a bit more.

i need a picture of a 83 ttype thermostat housing.

does anyone know where i can get one from?

 

[charlief1]

If you remember I had to make mine Matt. I got rid of the bypass though.

 

[mat231v6]

i need to find one with the bypass.

Btw, why did you eliminate the bypass?

It's not needed if you've got the heater hooked up and all it does is put more heat back into the engine. When I eliminated it on the Skyhawk it dropped the coolant temp 20 degrees in summer weather but didn't effect the heater in the cold times at all.

if it werent for bad luck i wouldnt have any luck at all!

How did you cap the port on the back off the water pump that feeds the bypass?
BTW, that oem thermo-housing is rare and no longer available. The replacements are cheap cast.

One of 3 ways Freddie. Use a pipe tap and plug it, weld over it, or use a rubber cap held in place with a hose clamp. I prefer the pipe plug but I also put a cap on top of that just as a precaution.

I think I might have what your looking for. Let me check my parts bin, and I still have that housing for the filter. Ill check!

that's the way it always is. you see it one day the next day you cannot find it. today, i spent 2 hours to find a face shield for grinding. lets just hope this bad weather passes

 

[charlief1]

I think I still have my old one Matt. Give me a day or so to find it but it was rough so I made the replacement. I do have 1 of the cast iron ones that's supposed work if you're interested.
