Thank you for all the information guys! This site is a gem for a "mechanically handicapped" guy like me. Amazing how much I learn in here!

I have a Southern Automotive FE motor in mine. I live in the Central Valley in California. Summer temps get up to 110 degrees plus. I took the advice of Southern and knocked the center out of my thermostat which leaves about a quarter dollar size hole in it. Enough to restrict the coolant enough to get cooled and also add protection from the thermostat sticking if the car sits in the garage too long. Heaven forbid your car sits in the garage that much. I have the standard fan and radiator that Shell Valley sends in their kit. I have not seen the temp go past 200 degrees in the worst traffic on the hottest day.

By the way Thanks to Dana and the gang at Shell Valley as well as Bill and Susan at Southern Automotive. I love my car.
