| Excessive heat in the cabin, question/LONG! |
| By ponyboy - 02/12/2004 1:20:22 PM; IP 24.241.232.210 |
O.K., its the middle of winter, the car has been in storage since Nov., I still find ways to do something Mustang related everyday.sometimes, dream about getting the car out this spring.
O.K., heres my question, the car is a 67 S coded mustang. the motor I bought (on line), the seller told me it was out of a 67 T-bird, first mistake, didn't know I needed a GT motor, second thing, my rebuild guy tells me after the fact, it's not a 390, but a 352, thats been bored +.030, he needed to go another.030, now I'm getting mad, Continuing, drill the holes, put the manifolds on. the engine is in the car,
the radiator is moving "good water, the block temp (taken w/a laser type thermometer) is not running any higher than 190. the engine temp gauge in the dash is WAY on the HOT side, and I can remember sweating my but off as the temp inside with windows down, at intown speeds is 20 degrees hotter than the outside temp.
I think alot about this, the motor has been properly timed and carburated, and I do not look forward to another hotter than normal summer behind the wheel of that heat box.
Any sugestions or comments would be helpful.
Thanks. |
