Battling overheating new 360 build

If you can idle without problems, Once you are driving more than 25mph, you can eliminate the fan, shroud and clutch from the equation because you are getting more airflow than those components can generate when at those speeds.

I'd also look at water pump pulley to crank ratio. Make sure you overdrive the wp pulley
make sure the temp gauge is accurate


I didn't really consider that. The car only gets hot under load, so yes above 25mph. I could be in bumper to bumper traffic or sitting idling in a parking lot and not have a problem.

Car currently has what I believe to be the OEM pulley that slides over the water pump shaft.
