anyone else besides S&P make straight water necks for the ls1? Dont really want to spend $100 on it.....

not that i have seen.
if you have a stock one, or the ability to obtain one, you can always fab up a radiator hose. all rubber, or use a metal pipe between two ends.
S&P get you everytime. some of their stuff is downright overpriced.

I have one on my car but I don't know where it came from. Check out this thread and if you do any research and find where it came from, let us know.

My 34 Ford has the same problem and it was solved in a novel way. The housing needed to point down and not out.

A plate was made between the two faces to turn it 90 degrees and a small pipe the same thickness as the plate was pressed into the outlet the foot in the thermostat sits on.

Hope this makes sense and the pic helps.

That housing could save me some $. I've been contemplating ordering S&P's, but some of their prices are rediculous.

this probly isnt the cheapest route buuut..

doesnt the electric version use a standard SBC housing? you can easily get thoes at any angle you want.

it uses a regular thermostat, not sure about the housing. i bought the race version, its pretty much bare. no t stat or heater hose fittings. i cannot say for sure.
good idea. lose a few pounds/free up some hp and look cool too.... all while being broke. those pumps arent cheap.

thanks guys
Ive got a TIG welder...how hard would it be to modify the stocker?
Or would it be better to mod a sbc version to fit the ls1 water pump?
maybe mate the base of the ls1 to the outlet of the sbc?
