Building a mild 460 for bronco

[ANGELO]

210 seems like the warm side of fine, not sure it's worth messing with or that a colder thermostat would help. 195* should be just as wide open as a 180* at 200*+. Fan shroud/radiator degunked/radiator obstructions in that order would be the things to check before bothering with a colder thermostat.

I think this radiator might be on the smaller side for a 460. It's the stock size for a modified newish china aluminum one. I washed the mud out of the fins before installing. With dual e fans It never went above 210.

oil sender is an easy fix with thread tape at least, if it won't stop leaking with just "one more" turn

It was also leaking with the modified.. but the modified I think topped out at like 20 psi not like 80

Fwiw I never had an issue with the smaller 3?core dentside rads and 460’s

Sitting in the exact same spot. Axle swap time. My front axle needs quite a bit of money, and it was pretty scary driving it. I bought super duty axles 4 years ago
