I agree with Marc, but if you are saying that the front ducts are open
(where the heater ducting attaches) then the thermostats won't open because you
have continuous full air flow out the front ducts. I would permanently
close the front ducts with pieces of sheet metal so the thermostats can
function properly allowing the engine to warm up and run as designed (you say
the engine is not in a Corvair right)?

John,
I'll tell you what I think it is and if I'm wrong, I'll quickly be shot
down
:o).
Basically, there is no cooling air until the thermostats open the doors.
The
fan just spins without moving any air until the doors open. Of course this
assumes that all shrouds are in place and operating properly.
