[Chrysler300] Water Temp and engine bay heat issues

[Tony Braams <tonybraams@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello All,
Not sure if I have reply to the right message, but re engines running on 
the hot side for water temp.
Also there is the issue of cavitation to do with the impeller to housing 
clearance I think,
Also engines were designed for a wide range of temps and all the 
variables in the replacement parts, timing cams etc etc all have effect.
My other e'mail earlier today suggested using the 300F intake gasket 
with blockoff for heat crossover.
Maybe restricting but not eliminating this passage somehow would help 
some engines in hotter climates / loads.
Plus the issue of finding a way to restrict the internal water bypass of 
the bigblock Chrysler engine.
Just some ideas anyway for those running out of options ...
