CFI Water Outlet/thermostat Housing

I cannot find a crossfire injection water outlet/thermostat housing. Every one I found does not fit and the hose neck angle is way off.(napa, oehq, rock auto, and etc) it keeps hitting the a/c compressor. Does anyone have a CFI theromostat housing or know a suitable replacement?

Re: CFI Water Outlet/thermostat Housing

LOL...I had that problem too-back when i first put in an
'84 vette engine in my z28,the vette housing was wrong
and the carb style one had the hose against the A/C
bracket...Found one from a '78 monza with the 151
"iron duke"that worked well after i notched the bolt
holes.Later found a proper C/F one
will check to see if i have a spare..

Re: CFI Water Outlet/thermostat Housing

i looked at a standard carb thermostat housing and it
looks like if the bolt holes were notched so that the
housing could be rotated clockwize on the manifold,
hose might just clear the A/C bracket-might need washers under the bolt heads
