water neck housing help

[roachownsu]

ok so i recently bought a new chrome water neck for my 350 rocket and noticed that it does have the 90 degree bent tube that goes to the water pump... is there any way i can take the 90 degree bent tube out of the old one and put it in the new chrome one? if so then how? and if not does any body know who sells a chrome one that comes with the 90 degree bent tube?

I would strongly recommend going back to the OE type. The chrome water necks are garbage.

yea i know.. it looks awesome... but is there a way to reuse the 90 degree bent tube?

There's also a type that swivels, and the quality would be better than the Taiwanese made chrome water necks. Personally I used one and later discarded it due to warpage and it began to leak. I went back to the old cast iron neck. I haven't had a problem with it yet.
Here's several types listed. http://www.speedwaymotors.com/search.ht ... at+housing

Every chrome one I have ever seen has that short nipple instead of the U shaped pipe. If you have to have the chrome one you will have to get a formed by-pass hose. Any parts house should be able to get you one .
