Thread: 350 too HOT!

I pirated this picture from Ratrodrider, hope he doesn't mind. It illustrates exactly what I was trying to say in my previous post. See how the grille is shaped, it allows air to flow all around it, and avoid going through the radiator, especially if there is no place for the air to exit the engine room. The more I think about it, I remember some company selling splashpans and the like to fit inside the area right behind the grille to channel air flow directly through the radiator.

I just have feeling that is what is going on in this tight engine room. Like I said, if I can find that article, I'll post the info.

since you're starting to see warmer weather now... instead of running an antifreeze mix... maybe you should see about running water wetter.... the redline water wetter has shone up to 20 degree cooling difference..... also make sure you're not running lean and/or too advanced on the timing, both of those will cause unneccisary heat as well
