Temps climbing in 318

Thank you all for the ideas and opinions. I really appreciate them. It looks like most here feel the same as I do...the radiator is too small. I was just hoping that since my build was not radical that maybe I could get by with it. It just didn't seem like it should change it that much but it seems others here have experienced the same thing.

Trailbeast, I will remove the shroud and see what the difference is. Doesn't cost a dime to try that.

Yes , the lower hose has a spring in it as stated in my original post and the radiator is new as I said also. Water pump is new also. I ran it(the radiator) on my slant for about 6 months before dropping the small block in and the slant was clean. Not full of rust and crap. Dennis
