[Tigers] Thanks to all for the great ideas. Re my few unrelatedquestions email.

[Dave Munroe]

When my current engine build was completed, (bored and stroked 289 to 331 cu in) with all stock cooling apparati in place, the engine ran quickly on initial start-up to 225F and beyond.

A serious cooling study by two members on this list indicated that closing off the by-pass from the water pump to the block dropped the coolent temp by some 5 deg F, so I tried it.

It made no discernable difference, but then, at the temps it was running, who knows?

My cooling problems didn't really get resolved until I added a large alloy rad, blocked off the horn holes and added a small spoiler, a large electric pusher fan with a shroud, and a modern 14" mechanical fan.

So unless you have an overheating problem that is nearly cured and you want to fine tune it, I wouldn't bother. 

If you have a serious problem, you will have to do the big mods to get the big results.

This doesn't seem like a great idea.  Not sure why it would help. 

Maybe though......

>From my admittedly limited knowledge I would think a nice 180degree thermostat and that is about it.
