Best of luck with that if you have a raw water 140 F thermostat. The
manifold is water cooled unlike a air cooled truck manifold that gets
hot. You would barely be able to keep a cup of coffee hot. [My race
car, the headers glow yellow at full power.] You would have to go to a
lot of work, but if your motor is cooled with 220F[or hotter] glycol
you can cook with it. The manifold would get hotter, how much I don't
know. Maybe enough hotter to cook some things.
