aluminum water neck

[olman]

Does anyone know where I could find an aluminum water neck for my new Edelbrock RPM intake? My old one is too far gone to put on such a pretty intake. Any cast ones that would maybe match the intake or even a chromed one. I don't have a edelbrock catalog which I thought would have arrived with the intake. Goes on my 63 1/2 Gal 500XL.  Thanks

Here's one I just bought a while back to go on my RPM intake. Pretty cheap, but it seemed like a nice part and I had no issues with it.

Edit to add that it does have the bung in it, which I didn't need so I just put a pipe plug in it. I'm not a fan of the chrome jobs because the chrome is usually the first thing to go under the hose, which then leads to bad corrosion problems.

Cool, but does the early cars have to have a  15 or 20 degree tilt for the expansion tank? Don't have my old one handy.

[cjshaker]

The only expansion tanks I'm aware of are one piece units that have the thermostat housing built into the neck on the tank. I assumed you got rid of the tank since you asked about a thermostat housing.

Are you talking about this tank?

Ooops, sorry, I was thinking of my 460 in my truck that I am working on and got the two mixed up. Haven't worked on the Galaxie lately.

In the EBay ad it says it will fit a Cleveland also. Never heard that before, am I the last to pick up on it?

A:
Thank you for your question. Dorman 902-1024 water neck thermostat housing will fit the 351 Cleveland engine, this unit is a non-swivel unit. Canton Racing 80-057 is a swivel 90-degree water neck that can rotate to provide more clearance if needed.
