Alpine V6 Question

Is there a particular lower radiator hose inlet / thermostat housing that simplifies the conversion? Thanks.

The stock housing is cut and welded to allow the outlet to poin down and to the front about 10 degrees.

We dont have a drawing of it yet, but I'll put it on my list of things to do.

Check out my drop box folder, it shows the modification, if you need, you can send your housing to Jim Moyer in Washington state, and he will do the mod for you, for about 40 bucks, that is what I did. As you can see by the pictures, it looked like it came from the factory modified.

Thank you both for your quick replies. That is beautiful work on the housing shown.

The angle on the nipple should be close to 45 degrees. If you have Jim Moyer modify yours, tell him if you intend on using the heater, so he can modify the heater hose nipple acordingly.

Does anyone have a current email address for Jim? I sent him a note about 6 months ago but don't think he ever got it.

Jose is correct, I keep forgetting that my radiator nipple is a little higher than normal.
