65 elcamino overheating
Car has 28X18 cross flow rad aluminume 2 core with 2 fans and shroud.
will over heat bad in traffic runs almost hot on road. Know I need a different rad, have contacted griffin rad co . was informed their larger rad would fix the problem. Can go 2 inches wider on both sides and 2 incvhes lower. Engine is 454 60 over with 871 blower and carbs . Suggestions please. Last edited by jackarnew; 07-12-2011 at 11:32 AM. |

Re: 65 elcamino overheating
Wow, 60 over and a blower? you're lucky it doesn't overheat shut off. All kidding aside, a blower will add about 30 degrees on a motor on the street. Make sure you have a thermostat!! You must run one, 160Degree stat. Electric fans and full shroud is a must also
