Are you running an electric water pump?
There used to be a guy John Bennet [retired] who enhanced OE water pumps from using pi$$y little pressed steel fans to using actual impellors.
He also had parts made to house the thermostat in the bottom hose. I hope I can find all his Paper work, this same guy designed the cooling systems on the V8 race cars.
He may have a web site not sure but a very talented guy with heaps of knowledge gone to waste. I had one of his systems on my cast iron 350 chev 4x4, you could idle all day with the aircon on,
that's how good his system was, He had systems to suit motor HP motors

[Thirsty]

No, it's all standard

nice clean patrol, I like the v8 touch. It would bee more drivable now with the 8.

[Thirsty]

Thanks Tezza. Its definately a different car to drive.

A bit of an update. I had a fuel reg failure. That's what happens when but a cheap copy. So I have now replaced it with the orginal aeromotive fuel reg. I have also booked it in for a mafless tune @ power torque engines on the 6th of September. So I'll see how good she goes and hopefully improve the shift patterns in the auto. I have also had it all engineered and rego changed to suit.
