Where is this thermostat located? Is it in the actual cooler? It sounds like something I would remove but I dont remember seeing anything "funny."

I'm probably just being paranoid, but I like everything to be as perfect as possible. Nothing to worry about when I sleep. For the sake of an easy life I sold the BBC and used that $$ + the $$ from the LT5 stuff to build a SBC. Not just a SBC, but a nice one. Dart lil M, 406" SCAT rot as, MAHLE pistons, AFR 227 Elim, LUNATI solid roller, CROWER SS shaft rockers & lifters, MANTON pushrods (yes pushrods, but not just any, 7/16" to 3/8" single taper .120 wall), Super VIC, QFT 950.

Im not exactly thinking of it as a step down from the LT5 in performance or durability. It should put a smile on my face. I still have some details to work out but Im hoping that by the end of the year the car will be done.

One of the big ?s Im struggling with is what to do about the thingy thats gonna be sticking out of my hood. Scoop? Open? Cowl? just no time to think about somkething like that.
