broke t-stat houseing
well my luck went to crap today, i was cleaning up my t-stat houseing to install and i dropped it and broke an ear off of it, well my first thought was o well i got more, well yes i do have more but there for later FE's and they have a smaller t-stat, my intake is a 64 so i need the big one and of course i didnt have one, ive looked all over i even checked out DSC and alls they have is the smaller ones, i need to find one fast or weld the ear back on my old one, what do u guys suggest.

I just switched a 65 intake for a 64 and everything including the thermostat was the same , size and everything, only difference was a Surge tank was on the 64 and just a plain housing on the 65, but the housing and thermostat fit right in the 64, but maybe some 65/64 intakes are diff 
Heck im sure you know were theres another intake some one has you can "borrow" off of

You have some pretty cool friends! Being in the military you would think I would run into all kinds of people with a bunch of FE parts they consider little to no value. I have gotten pretty much everything from the scrapyard or brand new.

I know what you mean, it's especially bad when you find a good deal and have no place to keep it. You know you will have to move in a couple of years too. I got over twenty in right now and am chomping at the bit to buy a place with a garage so I can REALLY get to work.

I am looking for a house right now with a garage. This way I have a place to rip my engine apart when I have to and not have to worry about spectators or the elements.
You are eligible for retirement man! I am looking forward to that day. Getting paid to sit on my butt is great.

theres a lot of people around like that, it helps a lot i live in a smaller town and my dads had a welding repair shop all his life and hes 57, so he knows everyone around here, a lot of the farmers have old trucks and parts so i can get a lot of stuff for nothing, my 75 f150 i got from a farmer for nothing, and it looks like brand new and had a 390 in it, so i guess i get lucky sometimes.
