changed thermostat
dam that was fun! changed the thermostat on the 87 yesterday. only took 2hrs....only problem was relining up the throttle body. but mission accomplished. i can see now where mechanics take advantage of some vette owners. but if you can do it yourself then enjoy....i did..

What does the throttle body have to do with the thermostat on a 1987?
A t-stat change takes 20 minutes on a LT1.
But....a plug, wire and opti change is a four hour job on a LT1.

If you go with a fail safe, some people have problems with those getting stuck open too easily.

On a L98 it's a little in the way eaiser, to remove the TB
