Hi,
I have a 88 gt on a fresh rebuild.
Just basic bolt ons:
gt40 heads freshened up. I had them magnafluxed for cracks
explorer intake
b303 cam
new pistons, new stock crank, rods and main bearings, high volume oil pump
new thermostat replaced it twice from 192 to a 180
new water pump
65 mm throttle body
75mm mass air
155lph fuel pump
24lbs injectors
electric fan not sure what brand it looks like black magic 175
stock radiator
full exhaust no cats
after the rebuild the car is heating up. getting up to 230 after a mile down the road. I replaced the thermostat twice, flushed radiator, block was flushed when rebuilt. I don't think the electric fan is keeping up. I think I don't have a radical combo that would require a upgraded radiator. Its a GT model and I do have the air deflector installed and has a cobra grille insert to let a little more air thru. I don't have any air pockets. The fan comes on like it should. Heats up just sitting and going down the road.
I'm think of going to police fan clutch setup to ditch the electric fan.
any help?
Thanks,
Justin
