390 FE ford overheating
Hello Fellows
I just finish re-builting my 390. It have a performance RPM edelbrock complete kit, manifold dual plane, camshaft, timing chain, hydraulic lifter. I have compcam roller rockers. MSD ignition system and a 3 core aluminiun radiator. It have and edelbrock carburator. I change all the gaskets and make a flushing to the block. I make my brakedown just as Edelbrock suggested. It has a high flow oil pump. And the water pump is new as well.
When I start my engine and let it on idle, when 20 minutes pass, the temperature rise to 210, that I think is to hot.
It is really too hot or is normal this temp.
I did not know Mike very well, we exchanged some messages from time to time but from what I understand he was a very good man. I was sad to learn about this
