Hi,  In the catalogs it is called a "tube, water by-pass front" and the part number is 8548 or 8548A.  Casco in Ohio has them, (800)374-0914 or Tee-Bird Products in PA, (800)423-3723.  Usually sell for around $8.95.  I'm sure the other classic Ford and T-Birds specialists sell them also. 

Have fun,  Nick
