OK need some help here i biult a 388 (.060 over 350 with a 400 crank) 4.06 bore and 3.75 stroke. I want to go to the next Hudge third gen meet but i need to get there with out over heating. my car will run 220 No Less while sitting and 240 on the move 245-250 on the high way. My water pump is working great. i can tell from the movment of water in the rad. i replaced my old 2 core with a 3 core upgraded rad, this made no differnce. i did not have a air damn so i got one and put it on. still has not changed a thing. both top and bottem hoses are new. No the bottem hose is not colapsing, right now there is a 165 High flow stat in it. i have also tried a 195 thinking it would hold the fluid in the rad longer... well that did not work. i have a single electric fan and before i spend 300 on double fans i want to know if you guys think the will bring the temp down...also where the two air filters use to be for the 2.8 has all been removed, so you can see the rad. from up above... is this Bad i was thinking made the air is flowing up threw where them fliters use to be, that instead of threw the RAD. would running no stat be a good idea? I have a friend with a 406 running it with no stat to stay cool but he has the opasit problem from me.. his gets hot when it sits and cools when he drives he also has a flex fan on it. and i belive its just ONE big single core RAD.

i dont know give me some help guys i need to get this baby cool. people have told me its bored to big and inpossible to cool... this is not what i want to hear... there has got to be a way to cool this thing down..

P.s i have a can of 40 below in it now too... that didnt change a thing....
sorry this post is so long just wanted to make sure i included everything

 

I would try to find the cover for over the radiator, you are probably loosing alot of air out the top insted of pulling it through the radiator. you could "TEMPORARILY" tape across the opening with duct tape to test if it helps any.

 

ha you know i never thought about that ducktape fixes everything... lol i think i might test that out tho... if it works i think im going to make eather a stainless plate or make a plate out of the same thing my airdam is made out of it is a really neat type of steal thats bendable and looks cool
i will try that tomarrow and let you know with the resaults.
