Overheating -- Corrective measure questions.
Update on the progress. I finished installing the FlowKooler pump, Bigger pitch fan, High Flow thermostat, Cold case radiator and relocating the Trans cooler. Unfortunately I had to keep the pulleys that I had from 440 source. Slightly underdriven at .95:1 ratio I think. Today it is 95 degrees out. I started the car and idled it for 20 minutes. It got to 210 maybe 212. I then took it for a mildly spirited drive for 10 minute on the backroads up to 60 but mostly about 45 mph. The temp dropped down to 180 and stayed there. When I got back I then let it idle for another 10 minutes and it went to 210. So far this sounds like a win. I also installed cowl rubber piece and the radiator core rubber piece to seal the hood to cross member.
