Cooling issue in my '35 Ford
I am having a problem trying to keep things cool at idle. I have a 1935 Ford with a 350, 290 hp crate engine. It is equipped with a Walker Cobra radiator, a 16" puller fan and a 12" pusher, and Vintage heat & AC. Has a 180 high capacity t-stat and premium water pump. I have absolutely no room for a shroud. I am running Mobile 1 synthetic oil. Just wondering if an oil cooler would help. I have run it with and without the t-stat and it still heats up (230) degrees on a hot day if I get stuck in traffic. I may have room for another small pusher fan in front of the puller if you think it would help. As always, any help would be greatly appreciated.
And then a newer model....
