Thermostat temp?
I just rebuilt my 77 302 and I changed to E7TE heads, RV cam, dual plane aluminum intake, and 4bbl 600cfm vac. secondaries Holley carb. I have both a 180F and 193F thermostat and I was wondering which was the best one to use for my application. The 180F thermostat is what came on the original carburated 77 302, but not sure if the changes I made require a higher temp thermostat. Thanks.

I'm with Kemical...go with the 180º since it's carbed. You don't need the higher combustion temps that EFI requires.
