I'm seeing after buying my 92 LX 5.0 that it has been running from 210-230 and I don't get it! I have a nice 2 row Al. rad with the Mishimoto dual 12" high flow fans and it's still running too hot. Any thoughts? Here an overview of motor.
D&D Comp Hawk 347 stroker with a Novi 1000 s/c, 40# injectors, 255lph pump and 150hp nitrous kit (using 80 shot) . This motor has the AFR 185 Al heads and GT40 upper and lower. It's running a Holley Commander 950 ECU that the tuner added the control of timing to as the former owner just set the total time to 36 degrees and let it fly. We're still working on the tune as it runs nice at 2500 rpm down the highway, but idle and just off idle it's loading up. The plug is an Autolite 3924 gapped at .030 on a MSD wires, coil, cap and Ford distributor.
Thanks,
David
