Make sure you read this first Swampy:
Stainless Steel T-Stat Housing for 502

There are some other threads on this rolling around too, but that one will do.

You should probably wait until you get your intakes and blowers. I'm not sure those will clear the blower snout.

I just sent mine back yesterday. The outfit I bought them from was very understanding and really cool about it. No matter what I couldn't get it to fit. My application was for a 454 mag. Would have loved to have used it and dress it up a little but had to go back to an OEM housing

well I will try a second time to explain some real info here... For one I deal with Sierra actually will be meeting them in person NEXT week --- The facts are sierra dealers have to wait about 7 days to 2 weeks to even get any THESE because they ARE SPECIAL ORDERS.. --- One would be surprised what dealer cost is --- its more than you think dollar wise - The fact is ALL Sierra dealers have to go thru a Sierra distributor - MOST Sierra Distributors do have this 18 - 1989 in stock --- HENCE why they are special orders.

Next will say this on top of -- the people whom are selling these RETAIL for $ 215 and below are selling the misfit made ones. Retail is 275 without shipping so do the math -- dealer pricing after shipping is around 30 to 36 percent.margin from the retail price. So think about it -- totally impossible for one selling these under 215 that are NOT the misfits. YOU ARE MAKING ZERO DOLLARS at that pricing. Who would waste their time selling stuff with a zero profit margin except if they are the discounted price defected ones.
