Coolant bypass
Anybody on here know if you can do a coolant bypass on the good ol 12 valve without using the rear freeze plug like maybe teeing off if the temp sensor? I don't have any temp problems but I am getting up in the hp and I know the stock cooking system is only meant to handle around 350 hp and I don't have any current problems with the rear plug and with something like that why fix it if it ain't broke?? I do however have the plate from haisley machine in case it does go. I'm just looking for some ideas to get me by for now until I get time to rebuild it and do it all right

.I think it is possable yes.i think i know someone that has it done on their 12valve.
i'll do some checking with them, |
in between the last two Bead bolts on passenger side there is a Frost plug in the head .. you would pop that out and NPT thread it and install a 90* Brass fitting with as big of a hose fitting as you would like .. can also use a ball valve as it will make it more difficult to warm up on cold days :c:

There is no threads behind the plug, you would have tho thread it yourself

thread the hole in the head, the plug will go MIA and you will install a npt fitting that you can put your hose onto. and like stated above, you can install a ball valve to shut the bypass system off to help warm the engine up on colder days

I wonder what size pipe thread that would be cause we have all the fittings and hoses at the shop and I was thinking a thermostat valve instead of a ball valve
|
I think its 1/2" Npt ? cant remember .. I will look into it .. :c:

If you are worried about it on a hot street truck personally I would pull your current thermostat and drill three 1/8" holes in it. |
