Quote: You need at least a 180* stat. The stat doesn't do anything but bring the engine up to it's rated temp. Once it's open it doesn't effect the temp. I would go back to a factory fan, shroud and stock water pump set up that has worked for a lot of 440 set ups for a long time.
This makes more sense than anything,they worked when new.Nothing had more coolers and accessories than police packages and half of those idled more than they ran on the highway.We seem to have a passion in this country to keep trying to fix things that work.It's everywhere,just look around.Also,find a 6 blade a/c factory pump,you don't need an aftermarket.
