Sorry if you mentioned in earlier post, but unless something has changed since these photos, you need a shroud. Should have an air space about 1/2" back from the rad, forcing all airflow through fans. I suspect that alone will help greatly.[/QUOTE
Here is what I've done this morning. I have advanced the timing as suggested in an above comment. This had no change on the overheating issue. Both fans are going the same direction and blowing towards the engine. The best I can tell the water pump pulley is 5 inches in diameter and crank pulley is 7.5 inches. I don't know how to configure the ratio. I still don't know the cfm of my fans. I suppose I may end up buying some fans that are shrouded so I know what cfm they are. I know some of you suggested going to a stock set up, but at this point I am to far into it. I am not willing to ditch my a/c p/s alt ect. for all stock parts. I see many vehicles running electric fans with no issue. I'm beginning to think as suggested above that the internal engine friction may be a real possibility. I plan to go ahead and get a shroud and have the timing controlled by my sniper set up. I am going to run a leak down test on all the cylinders. Mainly to make sure no air leaks are entering into the cooling system.
