Thread: VE head swap - water neck/pipe

When doing a VE head swap onto a FWD de can i resuse the stock de water pipe the has the thermostat and runs around to the back of the block?

I do know i need to get the water neck that only the VE's have which holds the temp sensors.

Now onto the hoses. I already have the hose Miko made a sticky about "a hose to remember". Is this all i need?

thanks

bump. curious too. gathering info to do the swap myself.

Yes, use your stock de piping.

You must 100% run the VE heater-thermostate piping. There is no other way of doing this.

^^^^ what he said. Even the neck where the temP sensors are they are different.

I guess my memory is bad. I could have sworn that I used the VE neck and thermostat housing but b15 piping.
