Pulley Diameters

Don’t really mean to disagree with others experiences but my extremely overheating stock 340 barely gets into normal operating temperature. All I did was to replace the thermostat and fan clutch.

So you think everyone that has overheating problems has a bad thermostat and fan clutch like you did?

Seems overly simplistic. Several of the people in this thread sorting out heat issues have already replaced, or confirmed their thermostats and fan clutch are working. There’s a bunch of different parts involved, not everyone will have the same problem.

Not to mention, you said stock 340. Many of the folks in this thread have stroker engines that are bigger than 340 ci and make a lot more horsepower than a stock engine. More horsepower = more heat.
