Default Sheet metal style water cross over

Don't know if this is a production piece or not. Do you know anyone that sells a fabricated water crossover? Just really hate the look when you cut the front of a intake off.
Thanks

I added an old warrior crossover someone divorced long ago. KRE sells new cast pieces.

Thanks all, I think Ill try Sonnys. I looked at KRE, didnt really see anything there. I may end up making one, I just wondered if someone had one "off the shelf"
Happy New year to you to Troy. How are you feeling? I hope all is well. Maybe see ya at the track next.. I mean this year if all goes well.
I do not have any spare rods. Are you looking for aluminum or steel?
I do have a spare Nod iron crank lightened and balanced for aluminum rods.

I know KRE makes the cast crossover....But Bigchief468's intake & crossover (sheet metal) were made by KRE also...

I am sure they make a sheet metal crossover, it is just not listed separately on their site. They show one in the picture of the sheet metal intake as well.

This is one of my 4 into 1 water manifolds. It's set up for 4 #10 o-ring fittings (but you can use a combination fitting that is up to #12) and 1 #20 o-ring on the opposing side.
I also make a 2 into 1 water manifold. It uses 2 #16 to 1 #20.
Both have provisions for NPT for water temp pick up.

Yes,yes and exactly. $135 No fittings, but they are not to much.
It packages way better and looks so much nicer, radiator hose is only about 4-6 inches long. And you can pull water from where ever you want!!!! If i get a chance i will take pics of my set up.

Default Manifold

That looks nice. Does the maniflold just hang there by the support of the hoses, or is there a mounting bracket? Do you make these? Do you stock these?

This is my set up, its old-before the 2pcs billet design. I am picking up water between the middle exhaust ports.The water temp is in the middle of the water manifold.
