*&%$# database errors! I had a nice long description of things typed up but once again the registry ate it!
Basically, there's no real reason NOT to run FWC.
The only con's I can think of:
space - a Classic doesn't have the biggest engine room to start with, so it will make it a little tighter
cost - it is an extra expense if you don't already have it
complexity - more stuff to fail
The Pros:
consistant engine temp = better combustion control
No salt water in the engine = better engine life!
There's a reason every new engine sold today has FWC standard!
A 'full' system runs antifreeze through the engine and the manifolds, then dumps the raw water into the exhaust at the elbows. A half system only runs the antifreeze through the engine and dumps the raw water into the manifolds.
All of them will have raw water in some part of the exhaust; it's just the nature of the beast. The only way around that is to go to a dry exhaust.
Now let's see if this will post...
