Ideal method of engine cooling for most consistent temps
I知 looking to achieve the most constant water temps throughout the engines.
Ive drilled and tapped the rear of intake and ran 8 AN from side to side with a T in the middle with a 4 or or 6 AN hose out the transom in the past. My goal has always been to dump the hotter water in the rear trying to achieve more consistent temps from front to rear as the rear is always hotter.
Question is it as equally important to run hoses from front to rear as well in addition to?
Looking for some opinions. Seems like Rookie showed some pics with different size restricters he made but can稚 remember how all was plumbed.
Tks

If using Mark IV blocks, read on difference (internet search) between parallel and series cooling for bbc (big block chevy)
I believe rookie had crossover system with bypass and using restrictor in the bypass section for proper block water psi ?? I知 just talking/thinking out loud....surely he値l reply.

Seems as though you recall that same thread. Heck I probably started for all I know but searched and couldn稚 find. Rather than the restrictors I had used a ball valve at the transom to regulate pressure.
Builds are dart big m 9.8 565痴. 740-750 NA. 6,300 rpm.

I will be running my x overs and bypass.
My thought if dumping the rear, - would it be non beneficial to run front to rear. Just thinking out loud.
Valako picked up my intakes while up deer hunting however they are the Brodix hv2001痴
Yes SB I finally bought them. Hah

I might suggest dumping both rears of the intake directly overboard with AN -8s all independent of each other, I did this on my engines it helps at sustained higher RPM runs.

I tried to search for my thread on Boatfreaks about the valve incident, head cooling and cooling passages but I don't believe there is a technical section there anymore. But I did find this beauty! lol
