L S 3 Swivel Thermostat housing

I am having trouble placing the stock thermostat in the new LS3 and need a swivel housing
The stock thermostat is a 86* C, and would like to stick with the one that came with the engine
I have a Mr Gasket housing but the O ring gasket (stock) will not fit in the after market housing and the after market thermostat is a 82*
Street and performance has closed its doors so is there anyone else there that makes a swivel housing?

Re: L S 3 Swivel Thermostat housing

Not sure if this will fit your application, but I used this Billet Specialties model on my stock 307 when I installed a new aluminum, twin fan radiator.

The quality was very good and a nice seal.

Re: L S 3 Swivel Thermostat housing

Stock L S water pumps and thermostats are a "bit" different

Thanks
