Looking for a replacement housing for my 88-SF Renard Pinto - found a hairline crack in mine after fitting a thermostat (no, it tightened nice and even).

Looks like a Cortina Mk1 & 2 part - number on it: 731F-8250-AA.
Racing this coming weekend, looks like a tough weld...
Hi,
Dave Bean carries a raw casting, I.E. no holes and gasket side needs machining. If you have access to a mill, no problem.
Otherwise Mopar Slant 6 and '78 and newer Mopar small block V8 water outlets work. Summit and Jegs have some options.

It's a standard Ford Kent part - might be worth cross-posting in the FF section as I'd imagine someone there has a spare.
AS tlracer says it's a 1600 "Kent" part
if none turn up, there's always Burton
fast but expensive DHL shipping

You also might try British American Transfer. They list the part, although they may not have it in stock.

Do a search on eBay for this: 1974 2.0L ford pinto water outlet
That will bring up numerous hits. Be cautious of which model you need. There are some that the two bolt holes are kind of 'in line' across the water outlet and some that the two bolt holes are 'offset' from centerline.

Ther is an Everco w1440 on Ebay. Located in Houston. Maybe cross reference that to another number.
Search D1FZ-8592B
Exactly what I found - Thanks!Quote:

you posted in the 2L section, but it sure looks 1600
On a 2.0L Pinto engine - but is a 1.6L Kent part. Typical race car....Quote:

Believe it or not - the Kent engine was used in a lot of industrial equipment, including sweepers, an industry I have contacts in.
