Thread: 390 FE ford overheating

Tweet

Hello Fellows

I just finish re-builting my 390. It have a performance RPM edelbrock complete kit, manifold dual plane, camshaft, timing chain, hydraulic lifter. I have compcam roller rockers. MSD ignition system and a 3 core aluminiun radiator. It have and edelbrock carburator. I change all the gaskets and make a flushing to the block. I make my brakedown just as Edelbrock suggested. It has a high flow oil pump. And the water pump is new as well.

When I start my engine and let it on idle, when 20 minutes pass, the temperature rise to 210, that I think is to hot.

It is really too hot or is normal this temp.
