To anyone knowledgeable with Vortec heads.
Before I make a dreaded trip to the parts store, does anyone know if the hole for the water temp. sending unit is the same size for the L-48 as it is in the Vortec heads? If it's not, any idea what size I should get? Please help, I want to start my new engine tomorrow and this should be the last thing!!!!!! :steering:

In my case on my 80, the temp sending unit did not fit the vortec heads which uses a much smaller hole. Not sure about your 74. Anyway, all I did was take the temp sending unit to the local hardware store and make an adapter that would mate the temp sending unit to the vortec head. Cost all of about $1.50 in brass fittings. Works perfectly. My point is that you can make and adapter if need be.
