The Thermostat Housing SBF 289/302 w/ 1-1/2 Black is designed for small-block Ford enthusiasts and restoration builders who need reliable cooling system management for high-performance applications.

Constructed from durable cast aluminum and finished with a black powder coat, this thermostat housing is built to resist corrosion and thermal stress while maintaining an OEM-style appearance. The 1-1/2 inch inlet fitting is compatible with modern hose sizes, allowing for seamless integration with custom cooling loops, overflow tanks, and radiator upgrades that are common in modified small-block builds.

Ideal for engine swaps, restorations, and performance upgrades, this thermostat housing integrates directly into existing manifold mounting points without requiring modifications. Installation is straightforward and can be accomplished with standard socket and wrench tools, making it accessible for both professional mechanics and DIY enthusiasts.
