The thermostat was used on 1964-1967 Corvette 327-350 and 365hp engines as well as 1965-1967 Chevelle L-79 and 1966 Nova L-79.

1965 L79s w 461 intake had the thermo housing outlet point toward the passenger side as the upper radiator hose was on the passenger side.

<span style="font-weight: bold">Nope</span>. '65-'67 Corvette L-79's <span style="font-weight: bold">ALL</span> had the thermostat housing outlet and upper radiator hose on the <span style="font-weight: bold">driver's</span> side, as all '63-'67 small-block Corvettes used the same radiator - no exceptions.

Chevelle 461 intake utilized passenger side rad hose, 66/7 chevelle L79 used #490 intake and pointed to the drivers side radiator top hose . The corvette picture in your photo is the cast iron straight neck used from 63 up hi perf including fuel injection,not the one picd in the original posting . All corvette midyear small blocks used the same exact Harrison radiator. I was making a statement regarding that curved neck thermo housing shown and its applications on the two different aluminum L79 intakes. That housing was also used on L88s and 1965 396 425 corvettes but needed a thick spacer underneath it .......
