    I have an early Hemi with a P.A.W. water crossover which uses a Chev thermostat. What T stat housing did they use. The bolt pattern is 2 5/8 tried Mopar and Chev both too wide.

    I have a PAW supercharger water crossover on my 392 and it uses a thermostat housing off of a 429/460 Ford... It also uses a thermostat from the same cars....The O-Ring type housing won't work...The chrome ones always leaked..

    I had the same issues. Ford t stat worked but finding a housing that would seal was a little problematic. Used a Ford 351 straight up and made my own gasket from rubber.
