I think you bguys are pic crazy,just like me,but back to the thermostat thing.The disty housing on the F2T is at the back of the head and in the way of the firewall so I machined a 1/2 alum.plate to cover that hole & cut the cam off flush with the head.Then I machined the Front timing cover out so that the collant could flow
like this
then I took the B2200 front casting & machined the thermo housing out of it so that it would fit in the F2T front
I made a gasket ,new cam seal,and assyed. Works,and no coolant pipe running from the back of the engine to the front
The engine bay looks like this.I'm running 9psi boost, a Saab intercooler(mayhaps a little small)but it runs
really sweet,is giving me about 20 to 24 mpg,more if I'm not boostin Gimpy
Sorry abuot the crappy cell phone pics, it was all I had @ the time
