RE: what temp thermostat?
a little off the topic but you may want to think about 3.73's and a shift kit (all i have different than you is 70mm tb,mac cold air intake, high flow cats,timing advancer (not recommended with tuners) msd coil packs; not ignition, 3.73's, shift kit,no tuner yet).im pulling 14.1 at best, dont get me wrong its a project car(#'s will get better over time) but they sure seemed to liven things up. i have a diablo tuner, suspension, and upgraded brakes i am ordering tomorrow. i cant wait to hook the tuner up!
either way good luck
either way good luck

I know that you said "a little off topic" but there wasnt a damn thing in your post that had anything to do with anything said by others
Back on topic though, how hard is a thermostat to install?

It`s easy. Just be careful when you tighten down the housing.
Another question this made me think of. Is there a place that sells steel braided radiator hoses?

Do I just drain it, replace it, and fill it back up?
