Well after geting a reco radiator fitted & the car still running hot it was worked out the thermostat s**t it self & got a new one & its to big & I asked for a EB 5.0L thermostat at REPCO, so after finding out its the wrong one I ended up putting everything back minus the themostat & now the car runs sweet but I do plan to get the thermostat done in the new year.

If I dont put a therostat in will it effect the engine at all?

Yes it will effect the running of it, also a cold running engine wears a lot faster than a hot one.
You could have just cut the guts out of the old one and fit the ring as a restrictor, that will help a little at least. |

one thing worth noting is the ford factory thermostat is a different temperature range to the aftermarket selections ie the ford one is hotter.. and thats the one that gets used in the mustangs across the US including the desert
