Thanks for the info. As you guys might suspect, I am much more concerned about running an over temp engine, rather than an under temp engine, since I live in Hotzona. I will say that the engine seems to run a little smoother now at idle, although this big block, like the other big block I had, always idles better than the small blocks I have owned, even the new small block vehicles. I will probably only travel about another 600 miles until we get "cold" weather in Tucson, so I think I will see how this current thermostat works out then.
