400 thermastat correct setup?
Need proper thermostat for my 400. My problem is not making enough heat. Makes heat but once I get rolling things cool down pretty quick. Have a 180 degree in it now. Will be going to elec fans soon to help control temp. Usually these engines run hot but not this situation.

I agree - flush it. But, start by back flushing, meaning put the water in where it has been coming out. That way what is plugging the radiator should be blown off instead of more tightly plugged.
And, you are using the proper type thermostat? One made for the Cleveland?

Thanks Gary!
Will get ordered! It's 0 degrees at the moment! Have a little cool weather blowing through for a day or two! Thanks!
