You will NEVER generate enough heat in the pits at idle (or other) fast enough to just go right out on the track without a thermo. (BTDT)

BTW did you know the E-51 "Supercharged" self-oiling transmission which fits your 4a series engine is a factory close-ratio unit, like
how about 3rd gear at the end of the straight?

Just a "passing" thought.

the e51 is considerably heavier than a C series.... also harder to find parts for if something were to go out. Best thing I ever did on my 87 s/c was remove the E51. Car is MUCH faster and handles MUCH better.

stick with the C series... cheap and they get the job done.
