^^You are right about the fans CFM, But a motor should be run at the temp that you brake it in. In 60 years i've never heard of running a motor below 180 will cause longevity problems unless it was broken in at a different temp.

Thanks Phraekish. You answered my initial question in block#27. My fans are set at 180* on and 160* off. I'm trying to keep the temp close to that mostly for longevity. In cool weather it stays between 160* and 175*, but when it's hot & humid is when it acts up. Fans pull 2000 CFM, I'm thinking...

Someone is not reading my post right. TWIN ELECTRIC FANS WITH SHROUD> no engine fan at all. I'm aware that 200* is not an over heat condition, but fluctuating between 160* and 200* wears out rings and other parts too. With a good operating 5 blade clutch fan and high flow 160* t-stat it would...

It seems that the bypass puts some of the already cooled water back through the t-stat housing instead of back through the motor ??????????????

I am running a restrictor and a three row Champion radiator, twin cooling fans, electric t-stat, cooling fan on trans cooler, hi volume water pump, rear intake cooling lines to t-stat housing, and it still wants to head towards 200* at a traffic light. 340 bored .040 over with a 360 trunk crank...

I have no only a restrictor plate in my t-stat housing (small block). Would it tend to run cooler with the bypass plugged off? Thanks AL:prayer:
