I bought my wife a 1965 mustang and the 289 motor in it overheats. It was supposed to be a motor with 15,000 miles on the rebuild. The car runs good and idles good but then overheats while driving. I replaced the radiator and put an additional elec fan on the front of the radiator to add additional cooling power. still no luck. any ideas? the oil doesnt have water in it so I think the head gaskets are ok. the timing is also ok. any suggestions to check out would be great.

thanks
brian
