      Hi John, thanks for the info. I'm always interested in talking with
    other people who build/run clevelands. They're getting scarce these
    days and it's getting harder to find guys who run them. BTW, I covered
    my combination some time ago in note 115.
    
      My engine is apart right now and I'm getting ready to replace the
    block with a new one. It has already been sleeved in one cylinder and
    it has a few scores in another bore that I don't like. I will look at
    the t-stat this weekend to see if there is anything special about it.

    Gentlemen,  if you recall back in January we were discussing the
    cooling problem I was having with my 351-C motor, sorry I haven't
    responded sooner,however i've been thrashing to complete the rest of
    the restoration before the lease at my shop was up in CT so I could
    move the car as a whole unit to my house in MA and only have to lug my
    equipment and spare parts. Leaving 800 sqft of shop space for a 1 car
    garage is a bummer but it put $500 a month back in my pocket and saves
    me 700-800 miles a month in driving,so the cooling problem had to wait.
        Last week I finally fixed the blunder,the left head gasket was on
    upside down,fortunately there is little running time on the engine so
    there was no damage,the head was still straight and the valves and
    cylinders looked fine,she runs great now.Just a few more finishing
    touches and were ready for the street. Thanks for your help,good luck
    in all your endevors.                
                                          john
