heating issue.. need opinions

your car has a v8 in it now right. did they swap in a larger radiator when they put a v8 in, or do you still have the slant 6 radiator. im not running a shroud on my 63, but i had my radiator re cored and its a fresh motor, so the block should be clean inside. i would think. my car, runs at 195 all the time. a little cooler on a cold morning. but it never goes above 195, even siting in bumper to bumper traffic when its 95 out. i would hook up an aftermarket gauge and see what it says you are running at.
