    yep i posted on here last night ? less i sent it to don .? hell of a day .. well you can just take a old stat and cut center out thats a place to start there is kits that moroso sells for smaller and bigger holes for water speed.as for the bbc and heads they have a good bolt pattern and the heads are not going to fail @220 water temp to hold the head gasket guys telling you that BS are not in the know . less its BS the LS engine head bolt pattern are not the best same as the small ford..but hold .bbc is better... here is somethings to think about .what fire ring or with the MLS gastkets were is the edge of gasket to the head chamber .most 355 darts are set up for 4.600 bores.you do not need a stat for a race only race . were is your timing at. is this engine leaning out.is your water pump working . then there air flow getting in and out of the car ? or what you have this in?with the big 355 dart head s are you using Nos. blower. turbo s? it nice to be under 200 temp but most of the stuff i built or had is that or more the bigger engine plane make more heat
