Running Hot

Thanks for reply, don't have room for a shrould, use 50/50 water antifreeze with water wetter, have 7 blade fan and is correct, tried different t stats and a resticter disc, no trapped air, hoses ok, there was some crap in the block but removed a couple of frost plugs and washed it out, the only thing have not done is seal the bottom of the rad cradle and an aluminum rad is my next step. Hate to spend the money and still have the same problem. Have enough parts to bulid another engine and try that first. Thanks for input and will find out in the spring.
