Allen, When I got my car ten years ago, the 289 .30 over engine overheated
with the stock cooling system. Since then, I have added many performance
items like stroking to 302, 11-1 pistons, E4-b, and bigger cam.
At the same time, I re-cored the radiator with a three pass core installed
in the original band, added Tim Ronacks air dam, and use an a-symmetric five
blade fan with a 165 degree thermostat. I live in Florida and find my
operating temps at 170 degrees which means probably either the gauge or
T-stat is off some. Hope this is helpful. Robin Young MK-1
