the lack of a shroud could be it.... this is a reman motor bored .60.
after thinking about it i never drove it when it was above 75 deg.
so if the shroud isn't there the airflow through the radiator while sitting in traffic can't be much and with the thinner cylinder walls, it must transfer much more heat...
called salvage yards, no one has a shroud.... so i guess i'll be installing an electric this weekend, hopefully that'll take care of it..
