I wanted to see if a 302/351w thermostat housing would work on the SC motor but didn't get any info when using the search feature on here. The 351 housing looked close enough to a SC outlet in pictures so I went onto canton and ordered their straight outlet t-stat housing. https://www.cantonracingproducts.co...D-STRAIGHT-WATER-NECK-15quot-HOSE-CONNECTION/ I got it in the mail yesterday and put it on tonight. The result is.. pretty darn close. The bolts line up. The gasket lines up, the thermostat is dead nuts. But the hole for the heater hose is just 1/8th too far off to the upper right side. It might seal with rtv, but instead of risking having a leak later on I'll probably end up adding a little bit of filler rod to the upper right corner of the housing just to be sure. I went with this housing since the stock t-stat housing won't work with my front facing intake manifold. Just thought I'd share that a 302/351 housing is close enough to the SC that it should work.
