I need to know the stock thermostat is it 160? or is it 180? I forgot.

Also, What kind of tranny fluid do you reccomend?

And, is it ok to REuse a PCV valve? Because the dumbasses at Kragen gave me a weird one that looks nothing like the stock one.

And what kinda coolant? Should I do water wetter again?

Thanks! [patriot]

-190 is stock

-any non synthetic DEX III

-Sure, if your PCV valve is clean. Get your replacement ones from the Ford dealership next time.

And what kinda coolant?

-the cheapest you can find.

Should I do water wetter again?

-if you got the money to burn. Why not install a 180 thermo instead?
