I have a friend restoring a 1962 Facel Vega II that had a 413 engine originally installed in it. The thermostat housing is severely corroded and in definitely in need of replacement. Unfortunately I can't determine if it's an original Chrysler part, Thanks for your help!



. Any help would be extremely appreciated.

 

I've never seen one like that, it looks like it's been welded together from three parts.

 

I agree Iowan.... Look like it was made to fit the upper radiator hose and also a heater hose? Is that what hooks to it?

 

440 source has a bullit thermostat housing that would be a good place to start if you were to fabricate a new part.
