Not Ranked
Install a new 185/192 stat with a weep hole (1/16" drilled and located at the top) for easy bleeding of air (some stats have a brass rivet that floats and does the same thing). If you want anti-freeze use Ford "gold" coolant from your local dealer, good with aluminum and works well.
Do not use a "160 degree" stat. An engine is intended to operate at a given temp and a lower temp stat is a "Band-Aid" for a cooling system that is not operating or balanced properly.
The SPF radiator will cool a 600 HP engine so if you can't keep a constant temp the fault is elsewhere.
