Hi everyone,
I'm converting a non-Vortec head 5.7 truck engine into a marine engine for my bowrider and I'm having an issue finding a correct thermostat housing.
The 5.0 Mercruiser that I recently took out had a 6-connection thermostat housing. Attached is a pic of it when it was in the actual boat....
I've also tried adding a link to a web page that has a full diagram of it. Hopefully it works.
The issue is that this type of thermostat housing is no longer available and I'm wondering what other type I can use or what alternatives will work for my application.
I am running exhaust manifolds with a 4 inch riser that are not a closed system (they pull sea water in from the outside).
Any help is appreciated!
