I am running a 350 SBC with 350TH trans. and it has been running 200 degrees in this hot texas weather(95 degrees outside). now that is when I am doing 75mph on the highway. City driving is like 180-190. I was wanting to put in an ac but that would kick up my temp another 10 degrees at least. I have dual electric fans but I dont think that is the issue since my problem is at high speeds.
200 seems hot to me any advice would be great.
thanks in advance!
What temp thermostat are you running?
200 is not hot , need some heat to burn the lousy gas we get today.
i am running a 180 or 190 cant rememeber
Agree with jpelli. 200-210 is ok. OEM runs hotter than that.
Running hotter at speed indicates that there is unsufficient venting of hot air from the engine compartment.
200 Not hot. 210 Not Hot, 220 Warm, but not hot. Get your A/C and enjoy life and stop worrying about your temps. When you hit 235, start worrying.:eek: :LOL: :LOL:
If you would rather worry, check your thermostat, add a stroud to your fans, make sure your coolant is 50/50, add louvers to your hood, and add a water wetter if you have money to burn (water wetter may not do anything for you, but will give you an ounce more confidence that you are doing everything you can).:LOL: :LOL:
thanks for all the input
what kind of intake system are you running, carbed, TBI, TPI ?. Also what rpms are you running at 70 mph ?
