Seem to have an over heating problem. Can't keep the engine below 210 when cruising around town. Heats up pretty quickly so my "cruising" is pretty limited. It's a 360 that's not stock but still pretty mild. I'd be ecstatic if it made 300 hp. There's no mechanical fan only a 16" thermostatically controlled electric fan. The fan is mounted in front of the radiator and I've read that it's possible that it's blocking some air flow so I've thought about mounting a fan behind. Also, I've wondered if it might be necessary to upgrade to a HV water pump. You can see the setup in the pic below. A word of explanation: you should notice that the radiator is not directly mounted to the frame but space out about 1.5". This is because I found out too late that the electric fan was too thick to mount behind the radiator and I couldn't return it. In order to mount it where it is I had to move the rad back that 1.5" so the fan would clear a bracket just behind the grill. Also, there is a trans cooler in front of but not mounted to the rad.

I would think this setup with this engine shouldn't have any cooling problems. I would appreciate any thoughts or insight on how to address my problem.

Thanks in advance.
