about the cleanest , most compact way i could get it done.

Very nice. Didn’t you make those brackets next to distributors for your Daytonas. You didn’t happen to make a couple extra did you? 😂 Or you had them made I can’t remember. Regardless I need to get some.

I am running oil t-stats from Improved Racing as well and love them. I got the thermostatic filter head. Super simple plumbing and clean install, standard block adapter is used. I have the older version, this is their new one that replaced other:

I bought the original 87 bloody red one from Craig Ellis years ago. Was a fun boat and built rock solid but I really like the twin platform much better. Not sure if weiand 77 here still has it or not. Believe he was 2 or 3 owners after.

Just saw a pic of it online.

Gimme Fuel thanks for the info.. I am running the old style mounted on a transom bracket with #12 lines. Takes up some space. Next time motors come out I am definitely going to grab some of the newer versions I am thinking.
