RE: Cooling system more

The temp goes a bit over 180 (slowly) at idle and high speed cruising. Always has even with the motor before this one. I thought I found enough sh it wrong with the old motor to explain it but obviously not. This motor is now in its third summer (its hot up here in Australia at the moment) and while its not a big problem it does scare me a little bit. The amount of heat it generates is incredible and in the tight Fairlane engine bay I am sure it gets into a viscious circle of sucking hotter and hotter air when its not moving. I run a 3 row up and down radiator rubber mounted top and bottom (maybe same as a 1970 Mustang,not sure) , engine fan, shroud, thermo fan(push), engine oil cooler, and trans cooler. I can look out the window on a mild day and see a heat haze rising from under the car from the headers (jet hot coated)(yes have tried different mixture settings). Mostly i thought the 160 thermostat might give me a little more grunt (mostly off the line) as the motor sucks a cooler charge. It has edelbrock rpm heads and manifold, lunati solid cam, oil mods and goes like fu.ck. I am very happy with it. Just looking for other experiences and info. Thanks guys. Great Forum!
