The torco factory-style replacement twin-port thermostat housing is engineered for australian holden v8s. Built to service an extensive range of classic models—such as the holden kingswood (hx, hz, wb), torana (lh, lx), statesman, and early commodore series (vb through vl)—this housing provides critical plumbing provisions for carburetted and early configurations. Its cast construction features a 45-degree main neck alongside dual integrated bypass port barbs to accommodate factory heater or water pump return circuits. Designed for a straightforward installation, the unit uses a traditional 2-bolt mounting pattern with an 88 mm spacing and matches factory cooling configurations with its 40 mm main outlet sizing, restoring structural and functional integrity to classic cooling systems.
