Just wondering what temperature you guys feel is too hot. My 351W ran at about 190 in traffic last summer. I always had one eye on the temp but it never seemed to go higher than that. I tried a 180 thermostat as well as no thermostat but the temp stayed more or less in the same area. I was running a 50/50 blend of
antifreeze and I have a CSI electric water pump as well as a 16" puller fan.
I plan on running a 90/10 water/
antifreeze blend this year with water wetter and I am considering putting a switch in the fan circuit to be able to shut the fan off when on the highway since the engine appeared to run a bit hotter at 60 MPH if the fan was running than if it was off. I am not sure what the capacity of the fan is but it sure appears to move a lot of air. Anybody notice if their engine runs a bit hotter with the fan running on the highway?
