Normal temp for 390?
By Steve M - 10/31/2003 4:23:51 AM; IP 209.115.87.2
This is my first 390 and I need to know what "normal" operating temperature is for a stock one. I just put this motor in my 67 galaxie and it was running 190 the first week and the 2nd week it hit 225 degrees today in 60 degree weather running only 20 minutes city traffic. I turned on my electric fan and I think it may have raised the temperature, or it isnt effective in cooling. The radiator is fine, I just had it dipped and cleaned at the radiator shop. Any tips on cooling this thing, or is the 200-220 range normal?
This thread, so far...
