All,
Came across this never installed “cooling fix kit” sold by Dennis - pantera performance - back in 1994.
Process called for removing the stock brass plate, installing the kit’s modified no-hole solid plate and switching to a Windsor style thermostat.
When purchased 2511 had this kit installed along with the Weiand water pump that omits the bypass passage.
Despite those modifications, now seen as questionable, I never had any notable cooling issues.
Replacement stroker Cleveland returned to the OEM thermostat system, Edelbrock water pump.
Penny for your thoughts. 😉
