Not Ranked
180 degree balanced Thermostat (Robert Shaw) in the cooling currently, strongly considering stepping up to 195 since it really seems to run around 160 degrees on the road. I have the Oil cooler blocked in front but I do not have thermostat on oiling sytem with the cooler. It has a Fluidyne Shelby spec radiator. From what I understand they (Shelby) use the same unit for FIA or 427 models so it seems likely that it could be overcooling with the additional cooling capacity (BTU rejection) (?) I may try restricting the water flow too?
