Use a 185 high flow stat and pump, a three core 22” minimum, a shroud and a 7 blade fan. Sounds like stock B.B., it is. Paying attention to total timing it is a must. Make sure your hood seals are in place. It can be that easy! JMO!
I thot I`d change the thermostat, yesterday when putting ,mine back together from the pump milling process. Odered a hi flow (mr gasket) it came in and it`s exactly like I have been running.
What brand of "hi flow" stats are u guys using ??????????????
