"Isn’t @MusbJim running a 1776 with no external cooler? If el Guapo, running his car on crushed rutabaga oil from Trader Joe’s, can survive without a fancy-schmancy cooler, so can you." - Gordon

My previous VS came with a 1776. Had some thick-wall 1835 jugs laying around so I installed those plus 1:1.25 lifters & A-1 Sidewinder. Thought as long as I had it apart also added an external cooler with thermostat fan. Ran 30 wt detergent oil. Engine getting hot was never an issue. Logged 161,000 Km (100,000 miles) until totaled in a crash.

@Safety Jim Buffalo NY. your car will run beautifully. Looking forward to see it and catching up with you at Carlisle!
