I have a fully built 302, compression lower to 8.5:1 blah blah The problem is when i'm on the highway it gets to 200ish water temp. When i'm in stop and go traffic the thing wants to ping up to 230ish. I turned my heat on full blast and go it to lower down. Well I took it out later that night and I got in it like a mother. Needless to say it was about 70ish, and it would go up to 200 but then drop back down to 185. I think it maybe the fan. I have a flex a lite Thin series on there with no shroud. I have a 2 core fluidyine (spelling) radiator. The fan I have on there now from what I got from flex a lite flow 2,000 CFM. I was thinking of getting a SN95 fan OR get a Mark VIII fan. Yes I have replaced the thermostat with 180. I'm going to get the radiator flow check tomorrow. Its 2 inch thick 24 inches long and 17 inches high. Would the 3 core from napa be better cooling wise?
Sorry I'm in a hurry so if anything is unclear I'll fix it when I get home.
