I've had my 427 sideoiler for 3 weeks and here's another thing I don't know about except both my
oil and water temperature are too low. I drove my car about 100 miles today on the freeway including, stop and go for several miles, after 70mph for 20 miles. Also drove it around town. Highest temps I saw all day in the stop and go - 90C
oil, 70C water. Running open on the freeway 2200rpm in 5th 80C
oil, 60C water. Seems obvious that the water thermostat is non-existant or stuck open. Solutions experts? Will a functioning 180 water thermostat keep my oil temp high enough. The oil thermostats you've been discussing sound good. This car will be mostly street driven with occasional open track time.
