I put a sandwich thermostat on mine also. My temps run about the same as Ken's, but my car runs much better than his!

Rick, you must be smoking those funny cigarettes again...unless you got another motor!

Let's see now, what were those dyno results? I've got them around here somewhere...

Seriously, how's the car and the Houston gang? Hope you, Dorothy and the family are doing well. Have fun at San Marcos!

I just placed a piece of cardboard in front of the oil cooler. Most people don't notice it because they don't look down that far. It increased my oil temps approx 40 degrees ( 21F OAT, oil went from 150 to 190, 40F OAT, oil went from 160 to 200-210). Was about 220 the other day when it was in the 60's.

Moss Motors sells a black plastic cover that covers one side of a 10 row oil cooler that has side arms that wrap around the sides of the cooler. These arms flex open to "snap" around the cooler. The cover also has some form on the inside to protect the cooler surface and prevent the cover from being loose.
