Does anyone make these for a sbc? I want to run a temp gauge from
the housing instead of replacing stock location.

GM? The stock t-stat housing for carbed motors has two fittings. You can get a cast replacement for like $5 at AZ or one of the others and maybe confirm that one of the openings will fit your sending unit.
