Sure the bottom of the radiator isn't clogged up? My stocker looked great looking in from the top of it, but looking in where the lower hose connected was a whole nother story.

Time to change the RAD then. Go with a 3 core.

Are you sure the thermostat is working properly. Can you see when it opens with the radiator cap off and is it flowing through the top of the radiator whenyou rev it up?

What kind of electric fan do you have? Did this problem just start happening?

If you use a good electric fan such as a 94-95 Mustang fan then it should cool much better than a stock clutch fan. Could be a blown head gasket. Even if you do not have water in your oil. Also could be running lean and causing more heat.

Sounds like either a bad radiator or blown head gasket.

Yes. It will cause it to run hotter.
