temps are easily kept within the 187- 198d range. Fans come on at 190 and 192.

Cruising temps are below that. My cal for fans is set so temps are always in

Closed Loop Learn range.

Hey Dom,

My new garage is built so my car is coming home tomorrow. One of the first projects is the Fluidyne radiator I bought before moving here last year. What if I leave the 180 degree thermostat stock w/o drilling even two holes? Did you try your Fluidyne radiator with stock thermostat?

Thanks,
Craig

Craig,

My interest in better cooling was due to use of AC in hot weather traffic. Otherwise not much issue. Plus, w ~550chp, the motor is generating more heat than a stock motor. I would simply install a stock thermo w the Fluidyne. Should be fine.

Thanks for your input. I’ll do some touring this winter, but last summer I had high temps too. Never changed coolant yet in this 95 so time to service and figured the Fluidyne would give me the extra cooling I needed. I guess I can always drill the two 1/8” holes later if needed. My motor is stock other than I’ll install the ported top end and install the headers in next spring. Thanks again.
