When you think s build can't possibly get any better.... it does!
Hats off to you sir!
Mate did you paint your floor yourself? If so how and what paint ?
Again it has to be said, your build is what all builds want to be like , pure perfection in every way, I'm living for the day so I can hear her bark,
Savage build!
One question, is there some holes in your thermostat? To have the pump pushing against a closed thermostat won't be good for it!
I just fitted a similar kit and I have a bypass set up where the water circulates around the engine while it's cold, and once the water gets to temp the thermostat diverts the water through the rad. If you haven't flow through your thermostat by drill holes the hot water won't get from the block to open it, you might run into over heating issues!
You will struggle to get up to temp with no stat,
Are you running a remote stat that you could make a bypass system for?
Thanks man, yeah at some point when the car is near enough sorted. Still need to get a AN bung welded on at somepointAwesome build .... valve cover redo in the near future ?
Thanks man.
Honestly I was looking at my thermostat today and thinking exactly this and trying to figure a way to bypass. I'm tempted to just remove the thermostat and run it without. Being a track only car I'm not sure I'll need it too much.
What do you reckon?
This is the bypas unit i used, It would be very easy fit to your system! Put a T in your top hose, link it to the right port on the thermo housing, then the fit the other two ports on the thermo housing in place of the thermostat you currently have!

Nice! That's a job I need to do on mine (steering rack)
I guess no special tools required to do what you've done?
