Not to hijack the thread, but I have read many conflicting opinions on the 160-180 topic. Lots of people say this is too cool, many others say it's fine and that they've never had an engine wear out prematurely for running temp in that range. My engine was running in the 210-215 range with a 180 stat in the first 100 miles (90-100f southern summer days), but I altered the grill for better airflow and now it sits happy in 178-182. When I was in the 215 range, it dieseled badly on shutdown.
Just curious what your thoughts are on the 160-180 being too cool.
I got double- hooked in 1967. Ed Lowther let me sit in his 427 Cobra, running, at the Glen 500 at Watkins Glen. And I went for a ride in a '64 R-code Galaxie 500
Damn Gene thats just hard to top!

Definitely have to keep the passion alive with the younger crowd. My son is 8 months old (we had him a bit later in life than most, no regrets) and he absolutely loves loud noises. If I fire up the Mach 1, or the straight-piped Coyote truck, tractor, chain saw, etc, he goes wild with excitement. He also goes nuts if I flip on one of the guitar amplifiers, so I'm not allowed to do that if it's too close to his naps or bedtime.
