Right now I have been working on my car like i have ment to but just go distracted. I was thinking of putting a 160* t-stat in the car since the winters in south GA and FL aren't bad but summers get hot. I got to thinking and looking and I have no idea where the T-stat is on the GXP. I dont want to order one and try to put it in just to get discouraged cause i cant find where it goes.

Oh wow that looks like fun... My car is at the body shop right now so i cant run out and look at it. I guess go from under and take the spash guard off... So is it just 2 bolts holing the T-stat housing on? I'm used to working on Gen I SBC and Ford 302's.

when mine was put on the guy went from the top and had to snake some extensions to get to it inbetween the exhaust manifolds and yes it is just 2 bolts....it wasnt a lot of fun.

your pretty close to me actually, i ran a 160 tstat in my gtp in st augustine with mostly water for coolant
no real heating issues that i noticed (didnt have heat or ac)
so i don't know if the heat would be effected as the winters are a low fifty high 40

I'm from Orlando and go back there quite often but I'm near Savannah GA right now... I got V8, AC, Heat, and a Big tranny cooler... But IO got the heated seats for the winter time so I should be good. My plan is to run mostly distilled water, little bit of anit-freeze and some water wetter.

Anyone notice any gains or improvements when they put their 160* in?

the car will run cooler. but takes longer to heat up. so no obvious performance gains, just a cooler overall engine

Well I got a big tranny cooler on the car 11"x11.75"x.75" bar end plate style (ment for a motor-home) and play to tow a trailer with mt motorcycle. so runnin cooler would be a good thing.
