Aftermarket water neck

All my searching has been fruitless to this point so why not throw it out there- has anyone heard of or seen a F100 FE t-stat water neck for the 2" upper hose with a threaded temp sensor bung? My original looks like this dude...



I guess my alternative is to switch it all to the later FE smaller upper hose correct?

The reason for this debacle is my electric fan runs a specific ohm sensor for the relay and I want to also run the original sensor for my dash.

I bought a generic thermostat housing from autozone for my 390fe and I think it was offered with and without a threaded plug. I don’t think that hole is for a temp sensor but it will work. Make sure whatever you put in this location doesn’t need accurate temps since it the thermostat will be restricting flow until the engine side opens up.

Ended up switching everything to the 1 3/4” water neck with the 2 1/8” thermostat. Parts were as follows:

Dayco hose 2” radiator inlet to 1 3/4” water neck- part # DAC-70737

Four Seasons water neck with 1/2” NPT threaded sensor bung- part # 84818

Stant SuperStat 180° for 2 1/8” water neck- part # 45358

Learned something and all’s well.
