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.
Sorry for your loss of friend Mike McGee, Shine. Great trans men are few and far between, it seems. Sadly, Mike Frade was only 66 and had been talking about retirement for ten years that I know...
