Billet Tech Billet Aluminum Water Neck – 5.7L & 6.1L HEMI
The Billet Tech Billet Aluminum Water Neck is a premium upgrade for vehicles equipped with the 5.7L and 6.1L HEMI engines. Machined from solid domestic certified 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum, this water neck replaces the factory cast piece with a precision-machined, show-quality component. It features a fully machined internal chamber for smoother coolant flow and reduced turbulence, along with an integrated inlet tube for optimal performance.
Dramatically improves the appearance of the highly visible engine bay while offering superior strength and durability. If your vehicle has an oil cooler, select the tapped option (fitting included). Installation is straightforward using the factory O-ring seal no silicone or additional sealer required. Made in the USA with meticulous attention to detail.
