The point is, your engine shouldnt be getting that hot with that setup so maybe you should look into it. I was making 12 lbs of boost on a 342, I had no fan shroud, no T-stat, a cheap parts store fan, just a regular 3 core rebuilt radiator, I lived in San Diego, and made 170* all day long. You shouldnt need an aluminum radiator, badass balanced T-stat, edelbrock water pump, silicone hoses, digital temp gauge, yadda yadda to keep your car cool. By the way what does this have to do with being a blower god. Does that mean you have a power adder because you have no sig and nor have you describe the combo in your car. If your hotly desperate for an aluminum radiator, Summit has 3 different sizes designed for Fords. They are less than $200 bucks. Also, try running without the T-stat and see what it does. You can also buy a cheapo fan at the store to augment your other fan. Just install it on the other side of the radiator. Has your cooling system ever been burped? How old is your water pump?

I run a fluidyne radiator, stock fan, 180deg thermostat, and I have ac and heat deleted. My car runs in the 180-190deg all day long in the florida heat.

The second my blower went on I had to get a new radiator and electric fan. I got the Griffin 31" radiator and the Sable electric fan and Delta Controller.
