3X00 Thermostat housing

[Z26-T]

Looking for a thermostat housing that will work for for a 3500 LIM that is straight. Anyone have any ideas?

As seen in this picture, the thermostat housing is slightly bent to the driver side, I need it to be a straight shot for my downpipe..

Cut it and rotate pipe and reweld, Get any angle you want that way, they weld up nice.

don't you need to tig it?

[dskopek]

Yes you do.

Reminds me of an episode of STNG... "Sure, all you have to do is change the gravitational constant of the universe..."

LOL... not everyone has a Miller or Lincoln in the garage.

cut it, rotate it the way you need it and mark it.. then have a local welding shop weld it back up for like $20.

The t-stat housing from a 05' equinox is almost straight. (lucky enough one came into work and I had to do something in that area.) It bolted up perfectly and looks sweet! It has a very, very slight curve to the driver's side. It's about 1.5" shorter than the factory 3400 one. However, it does not have a bleeder screw. But I should be able to burp the system just fine without it.

Here is what you're talking about. I have this engine in my Fiero.

Yep, that's what I have now. It looks a bit better on my engine though .
