Overheating problem continues

[Ieatcamaros]

Hey 82. You have a very similar combo to mine. I have had overheating issues as well. My 351 is bored .040. I didn't think to look at what compression ratio you had, but I have 10.0 to 1 pistons in mine. I had a flex fan, stock mustang fan and now have a 16" autozone special electric fan. It cost me $75.00 and well worth it. I have a 2 core aluminum radiator (1" tubes) and I am using my fan as a pusher, not a puller. Some people will argue that a puller is better, but I like my fan out of the damn way. I have had it on both ways and it made no difference in running temp. I have a 180 stat and my car runs about 190 on a 90* day with high humidity. It will climb to 200 or 210, if I do a lot of errands at the hottest part of the day. When I am on the highway, I don't even turn the fan on. It runs at about 185 like that.
