im looking to buy a chrome plated water inlet. ive seen some advertised as fitting SB chevy, do these also fit a 235?? all the adverts ive seen online list fitting v8 but not 235...are they the same?
also i have heard horror stories that aftermarket ones corrode badly, has anyone bought a good one?
cheers
mike

On an SB engine the t-stat housing is cast into the intake (or block not sure which). The 235 has an external housing. There are a few different housings so finding a chrome one may take some searching.

The chrome ones seem to somehow always leak. I had one that wasn't "flat" and one that cracked...but several that leaked on chevy small blocks but not sure about a 235.
