New motor.....

Got the rebuilt 360 in , broke in the cam swapped the eddy for the road demon, tuned everything in got 130 miles on it.

It overheats, with in 8 miles it's up to 260 and it got so bad that I had to move the coil from the back of the intake to the fenderwell. Even with the stock fan and a electric fan it still overheats on a 38-50 degree day.

I pulled the #1 and #3 plugs about an hr ago cause it was running a little rough and the threads are covered with oil and their all charred and oil stained but the car dosent smoke.

The heads were a portland swapmeet score for 300 bucks. They were ported out on bolth intake and exhaust sides and have 2.02 valves along with HP springs in them. I dont know if they were magged and the water jackets didnt look like they were hot tanked. They looked like the guy cleanned them up with a wire wheel and then ported them and stuck new valves in.

I flushed the coolant system at about 80 miles but I havent changed the oil yet (it is still very clean). Maybe the guy ported the heads too much and thats why it's overheating? Oil on the plug threads = bad valve guide seals? I have an extra set I can swap.

I just want the damn thing to work right, It is a smooth runner when it works.


here is the link to some of the pics of the heads...
