[QUOTE="jm@ReischePerf, post: 8703769, member: 48129"] The GT500 uses a unique t-stat, the Motorcraft RT1185... it is similar to an SOHC t-stat but it reaches farther into a larger diameter bypass. That NAPA thermostat is made for the cold-side 4.6L DOHC setup. Externally the two t-stats/bypasses are of similar dimensions but if you observe both t-stats opening you will see that the bypass plate does not move on a 4.6L DOHC stat. The bypass coolant flows up through the stem and is controlled by the pellet coming down and blocking the holes in the stem. I am working on a 170* t-stat for the GT500 and hopefully we'll be testing something within a week. [/QUOTE]
