FlowKooler and Thermostat


Recommended Posts

Picked up a FlowKooler water pump and trying to find a good high flow thermostat. Rober Shaw sold his design to FlowKooler which you think would make it easy right? According to their website they don't have any high flow thermostats that'll fit in the 4.0's. Any suggestions for a 195? Or would a 180 be better for a daily driver?

As for Hi Flow, you might look at Mr Gasket. I think a similar design as the Robert Shaw, or look on E-Bay. I would not use a 180 degree. It really won't help if you are running a higher temp than that. You usually want to run about 205-210. The 180 is/was for the early fuel injection on the drag strips. The temporary low temp would trick the system to run a bit richer. For a run or two. A lot of bad stuff can happen with cooler engine temps.  Yes, even in OK. I lived in Tulsa for a few years. Think larger or two row radiator if you need lower temps. Also, trans cooler if Auto and an oil cooler.
