Car started over heating last week and I believe it's the thermostat. The heat isn't blowing hot anymore and I don't have leaks on any of my hoses. I never replaced the thermostat on the car, can you guys point me in the direction for replacing it??

Overheating may also be air in the system. If it was opened up at all. Then you may have an air pocket. There is a specific way to burp the system if air. Not at hme so don't have link but it is on the we page for Reische performance. The tstat is specific for these and also can be installed wrong. Tstat is not on the top if block like pushrods v8 were. It's down low where like 3 hoses come tigether

Bottom of the radiator, driver side in a junction that bolts together in the radiator hose IIRC. Mine did it, too.

Make sure you get the right stat for a Marauder. CV & GM will fit but will not work correctly. There is a right way and a wrong way to install the stat. Also need to burp system after you open it up.
