RE: overheating in my '59 Galaxie
By Will - 02/23/2001 1:50:56 AM; IP 24.162.190.33
I had a 289 that puked out the radiator. I figured the head gaskets were blown, so I started to change them. When I got the heads off, I saw cracks in 7 cylinders. Crap! I bought a quick junkyard 302, and replaced the engine. I got it together, and guess what? It still puked out the radiator. I removed the radiator, and it was plugged with rust. I back flushed the radiator, and I got about a quart of rust out of it. After that, it didn't puke again.

I know you said you had a new 3-row, but the point I'm trying to make is that you may have an obstruction causing the puking. My best guess would be not enough flow, though (i.e. bad water pump)
