What year thermostat housing will fit a 77 280z


Recommended Posts

So Ive been looking for one but they're are hard to come by. I've read some articles that say all year 280z should be the same with the exception do the sensors, and that I can use one from a 280zx? So I received one and I'm not sure what year it's from but it has 3 bolts instead of two which is fine, but the coolant passage into the block is smaller, will it still work? The original one is the left one. Thanks

Do you have a gasket for the head? Or is the head available.  Check the fit.  That outlet hole looks small.  Doesn't look right.

 

I'd go out to the garage and look at mine but it's way too cold.

 

Edit - Wasn't that cold.  Here's my 81 280ZX engine housing.  It uses the three bolt outlet.  The engine had all signs of being original.
