Dean: Just curious. What thermostat were you running at 190-225. A 180? Did you change to a 160 during the warmer months? I've got a built SB and have to switch back forth. The 160 runs about 170 normal and around 210 if caught in traffic. The 180 will run around 190 and push 225+ in

The 454 in my 70 runs at 190 most of the time and if it's hot and humid like it typically is here in NJ during the summer, it will climb to 205 and hit 220 in traffic. Big Blocks are good up to 230, if it goes higher than that, then you worry. Tom

Phil, I've tried both couldn't tell much difference. Eventually both would level out about the same. The heater works great though! I would have thought the aluminum heads would help your SBC's cooling. I'm considering buying a set for my next BBC for that reason along with the

You're really going to sleep tonight? Think I'd just set up a patio chair in the garage and look :*) I'd think any electric fuel pump that'll maintain 7-9 psi would be sufficient. I'd also invest in an adjustable regulator like Holley or Summit has. Dale McIntosh I've stopped 2,487 spam
