Reply to "Mangusta Engine Removal and Rebuild"

AHAH!!!!
You have Gary's car!   I recall him doing that now....somewhere I have pic's of what he did!  VERY NICE work!

TX weather or not, the T-stat is a smart thing to do.  Doesn't cost you poo to put in, and it really doesn't hinder keeping the engine cooler...... that's all radiator fans and water pump capacity for better "water movement".   I ran it all the way to Phoenix from CA, twice for the POCA national show, and didn't even worry about it!   If you have the original FIAMM radiator, you just need better fans and shrouding.  Put the fan switch on relays....!!!   The radiators were well built!!! Just heavy!

Still have the old C9AF-U Holley on it??  Good carb!!!  I love them....735CFM with the vac secondary and heated choke.  Put them on 428's I owned, 390, and 351s! They just work with minor jetting for proper fuel/air ratio depending on engine size.  Will need another soon like down the road!

Cheers!
Steve
