    Question over heating

     



    my 57 chevy has always run hot, about 3/4 on the temp gage
    it is a stock radiator for a 283 i have a 327 with a iski street
    cam performer manifold and performer carb 9:1 comp i am running
    a 180 deg thermostat do you think a 160 deg thermastat
    would help or do you think the radiator is to small since it
    was designed for a 57 283 chevy?
