It covers Chrysler and Force F97068, F97068-1 and F97068-2 and the Mercury 895338, crosses to Sierra 18-3556 and GLM 13200, and comes in a 150 mm x 180 mm x 50 mm bag (5.91 in x 7.09 in x 1.97 in) at 38 g.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA 130°F stat is the cool running one. These motors were built for raw water cooling with no closed circuit, so the thermostat is only there to bring the block up to temperature quickly and then stay out of the way. A stat that sticks closed will cook a motor in minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe same 130°F element is sold under two families of part numbers because Chrysler and Force carried one number and Mercury carried another on the same 30 and 40 HP blocks after the take over. Both are listed below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe kit includes the thermostat and the seals that go with it, so the housing can be closed up in one go rather than waiting on a second order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth
