Anybody have one of these they can loan me?? I need to drill and tap a hole in it for an engine temperature sensor (converting to TBI). When it is installed I can give you back my original.

I may have one but it would be off a military 2.25 engine. I know the water pump is different because the timing chain cover is different shape to allow mounting base for 24 volt generator. I don't know if different water pump effects shape of thermostat housing.
Did you find intake and exhaust manifolds?
Bruce
do you have a photo, if its the same as a 2.5d NA i have one for you
I had a look at my engine spares and actually have a military 2.25 and a civvy 2.25. Thermostat housing are the same. My thought is it might be too short to add temperature sensor and still get enough hose back on. I'm probably wrong as I can only try and imagine what you are wanting to do.

Hi! I thought I posted a reply with pictures, but cannot see it!? But it sounds like you have one. I am sooo grateful!!! Simple thing, but we all know how getting parts can be a pain - new or especially used.
We will simply drill a hole on the side opposite the hose fitting and tap it.
I'm quite keen on this Throttle Body Injection upgrade; will keep you posted. I have a thread going on the Guns and Rovers website but will also start a thread here with a link to it and see if any locals are interested. After that, I'm thinking I will upgrade to a 2" exhaust.
PM coming, Camo.
Jim
Done!
Thanks to Camo
