Olds 455 runs hot - dyno 210hp rear wheel
Guys,
I have several issues with my rebuilt 455 olds engine: 1st) the car runs hot. I have added 165F thermostat, new 4 core radiator, removed the ac unit to allow air flow and the fan is a std 6 blade thermostatic controlled clutch fan which did make it better , however it still runs hot over time. The last thing I can think of is to add a fan shroud. What else can I do? 2nd) I did a dyno - the rear wheel hp 210 with 300 ftlbs. torque - I'm lost......Could my cam be improperly positioned?

I finally fixed that annoying noise in the car. I just opened the door at 60mph and pushed him out. .
