I have a 2000 3.0l that had a cracked head. i got a 1992 head and had it redone. Machine shop threw out old thermostat housing and now the 92 isnt the same. My hose from the water intake is too large for the small inlet on the bottom of this housing. can i just adapt this with a fitting and it work fine. the rest of it looks like it will work well.
