Yeah I changed the thermostat about a year ago but that might have been defected.

Well we changed the cam and the torque converter and put a 160* thermostat in it and it will not go over 170*. And it has so much more power!

So ditch the shroud and fans and get a big 18" and attach it to the back of the rad?

I'm not 100% sold on the idea that the fans aren't adequate. The shroud has 2 10" holes in the back with the high flow fans pulling air through the radiator and pushing it towards the engine, you can feel the air from them when the hood is up just standing on the side of the car. They are set to...

We had it looked over when we had the heads done. This was when I first bought the engine and they put the heads and everything together at a local performance shop.

Yes the water flow seemed to be fine it did the normal burping and we kept filling it and what not. We have the engine out now and have the top end ready for the new parts.

I ultimately just decided I want a driver as opposed to when I first got the car I wanted a beefed up 360.

He didn't tell us to get 2 750s he said with the engine like it is right now we would need the to give the cam and intake what they require. We are going to get a milder cam and carb to make the car more of a driver instead of a drag style car. We are getting a new manifold, smaller carb...

So my dad called and talked to summit to order some parts and he talked to a 60 something year old drag racer who asked about our manifold, cam and carb and he did the math and said we need 2 750 double pumper to even start giving the cam and manifold the juice they need. We only have 1 750 dp...

We had a clutch fan with the stock radiator and had room but with the aluminum one it takes up too much room for a clutch fan.

I'm not sure why there is so little room honestly, it's mounted in the stock holes with the stock mounts... we couldn't use the clutch fan with the aluminum radiator.

Yeah it dies lol, yes we have done a leak down test.

When it's idling it seems to be okay it will crawl after about 20 minutes for a while but we can't drive it father than 3 miles.

Don't remember the exact rating but they were the highest rated for their size. We have them set to where they come on when we turn the key. We have changed the water pump. As I said we had problems before we had the shroud and fans.

It was overheating before we put it on, that's why we had it made. It is attached to the top of the radiator and covers the back and then attaches to the bottom.' Before we installed it, it seemed to overheat faster now we can go about 3 miles without it getting too hot.
