I know lmc has them, but a cheaper alternative would be the junk yard.

Available at NAPA, Rock Auto, etc. - should not be hard to get. I would stay away from used part due to possible pinhole issue just like you have.

The aluminum top part, or the cast lower section?

[samstheman]

The bottom part the junk yards have been picked Ill try LMC
Any other source would be appreciated. Thanks

Is this what you are looking for? I picked up an operational 250 from a 1980 Chev short box for the oil pan.

I'm planning on putting an electric fan on my 68 and wanted to put the temp switch on the thermostat housing....hope you found one!

It was a used one not new just happen to find it
its a thermostat housing inline 6

[Green 1959]

I still can not find it, do you have the item number?

[70c-10]

there are lots of different housings out there. I've seen them with one, two, or three holes on the drivers side. The angles of the outlet for the heater hose also varies.

[Green 1959]

I need the lower housing. I did find one on ebay but biding is almost to 50 dollars

I'm in search of a 68 model 250 water housing. Anyone with any info without giving up my mortgage for one. Lol

I didn't relize these were in such high demand. There are 3 inline 6 trucks at my local junkyard, one is a 73 GMC a 75chevy and I think the other is a 80. If you are in anywhere near northern CO come take a look. I might be able to convince my wife to let me go next weekend and could try and pick those up for you. Anything else on inline 6ers worth picking up
