T stat housing on most Fords I've seen in a jet boat is a flat piece of aluminum. I happen to have a few of the weird ones that must have been used for logs here. But the flat one is usually drilled and tapped and the temp sending unit threaded in there. You can make one of those easily enough. Post up some pics and we can plumb it for ya! ;)
Are you talking headers or OT pipes? WTF is a "wetstack"? :screwy:

Your lines will depend if you have logs or headers...
