Default Looking for Good cobra shop in Jacksonville Florida

Hi, new to cobra club. Looking for good cobra shop in Jacksonville Florida. Does anyone know of any shop or any one?? I have a superformance MKIII 427 side oiler. Just had engine rebuilt top to bottom but now having heat problem. Engine gets hot quick, like above 230 with in 10 min of drive time. I know pump and thermo are good, Looking to possible replace radiator, need to find a shop locally. Any ideas???

I have a FE powered car and a couple of years ago I had a seam fail and had to replace the radiator. I then experienced what appear to be similar high temp issues. I discovered that I had some air trapped in the cooling system. The problem was easily resolved by purging the remaining air out of the cooling system. One thing that helped was drilling some small holes in the base of the thermostat. This allows air to escape even when the thermostat is closed. Hope this feedback helps you get to the bottom of your cooling issues.
