it s probably best not to run the ANTI FREEZE coolant off the shelf..if you ever blow a head gasket it can do some extra damage to your engine such as wiping out bearings etc....

to be honest i have run anti-freeze in some of my motors in the past but never hurt anything such as blown head gaskets etc...if its a street /strip car i would run it in a heartbeat....I WILL NOT run it in my 632..

but we do in our street strip cars "our" meaning me and the wife...
she had an over heating problem with her 406..i had a 160 thermostate..i took it out and placed a 3/4 restrictor..and no more problems with over heating...

its been nice speaking with ya....and remember there is no such question as a dumb question..
i am not a motor builder but i pride myself as a good tuner and maintenance man on my stuff
