Stock Fords run hot?
I had an old Ford Probe ('89), and yes I know, it is a MAZDA motor, but I dropped the temp on it, and never had a problem. Got a decent enough boost to feel the difference. I know that the v6 is a much larger/hotter running motor, but I beleive Ford runs them hotter than needed for specific (average) road conditions. It is not exactly an "optimal" setup. As hot as they get, you get too much expansion, and contraction going from hot to cold for every time you run the car, and then let it sit. I would think that a 180 stat would be better. IMHO. That would actually save your bearings wouldn't it?
