Hi all I have a Vh ss with a 355 stroker, cvr electric waterpump, 3 core alloy radiator, thermo fan, cast vn heads decked and ported, harrop manifold and a 750 aed holley.
Now in winter the car isn't much of a problem but as soon as we get a warm day she gets hot and the only way of cooling down is to pull over and let the thermo run while the engine is off. The carby hasn't been tuned but was bought for the specs of my engine but could that be my main problem or I was thinking if the electric waterpump could be pumping too much water through the radiator and not have enough time to cool. I have tried just water to lots of coolant different temp thermostat but not much changes. Once it gets hot around half the thermo can't bring the temp down but if it sits on 1/4 there isn't a problem. So any ideas what I should do would be great
cheers
