Default finished newer cooling system install

So far I'm happy with the results, it sat at idle for a long time and I drove it around some and it ran about 185-195 quite the drop from 210-215. The swap was pretty easy I struggled with the tranny cooler lines other then that not a bad swap. Went with all new hoses, new radiator, spent a tad more then I wanted but all and all it should be worth the money. Thanks to all the guys who gave me pointers. This site is pretty awesome

Excellent, good job. A new rad (open or closed style) got to be at the top of the heap for max cooling. Did u drop down a little on the t-stat?
