My cell phone is dead as a door nail. I apologize for not returning anyone's texts or phone calls. Should have a replacement in the next day or two. Several guys on here have iPhone 4s for sale. Maybe I'll be able to get one.

Go to Home Depot. Pick up two 1/8" dowel wooden rods. Coat in oil and slip them right in. No sweat, $3.
Yeah right Johnny! My phone didn't die till noon today! Good try though!

Holy large posts batman! Lets start at the beginning. 160 and 180 thermostats work well. It's all in the fan settings. You have to make sure that the fans turn on and off when they are supposed to. Is it worth extra bucks for a 160...matter of opinion. I think it was possibly a fluke that the fellas oil temp was up 20 degrees. That doesn't make any since what so ever if the fans came on at 165 which is where they should be when installing a 160 thermostat, the temps shouldn't get any higher than 180. Same, if installing a 180 thermostat, and setting fans to 185, the water temps shouldn't get any higher than 200. So, how can the oil temp be higher? Like I said possibly the fans weren't adjusted properly or other conditions were different as well.
4l60s can handle plenty of power when built right. I personally went through 5 of them though. The last one has lasted in Blue Thunder which runs 10.2s for approx 6 years now without missing a beat. It's called learning the hard way to buy the right part the first time. 4l80s are stronger, but if you go with the right tranny for your set up, you could be good for a long time.
Yes, when doing a cam swap, if you spin the cam first, the lifters should stay in the keepers, but do you really want to take the chance of dropping one and having to pull the heads? A great investment.....magnets. You won't drop the lifter until you pull the magnets out. Yes, I know these are on a Ford site and are a bit expensive, but they work awesome and are well worth the piece of mind! Used them more times than you can shake a stick at!

His fans come on 100% on start up. This was a procharger shop car in kc. He said Most people Dont run oil temp gauges so most will never no. I used to be all about the 160deg stat.
As far as cam swaps Ive never used the roll the cam and hope the lifters stay up. I just use the alu rods or the wooden ones. Ive have had some years not let the rods go in so had to used a ton of little mag pens to hold lifters up. not the funest way. lol
