I have a 380Hp windsor in my 74 bronco and have done everything to cool it. Howe aluminum radiator, cut fender wells out, wrap headers with tape, Hi-flow aluminum waterpump flow kooler, 160 degree thermostat,Race fan Be Cool 2300 cfm elec. pusher fan. No matter what I did it would over heat in line at the dunes typically 240-245 degrees, when running it hard would run 195-200 which was acceptable.
I took the advise of someone on this forum and drilled the rear of my intake to allow the coolant to be pulled out of the back of the motor. Twenty dollars later at the hardware store for parts to completet this task and it know runs at 160 degrees all day. I am going to change the thermo. now but WOW what a difference.
I was told by numerous people that this would not work and they were wrong. I would highly suggest this as a cure if you are having the same problems. Twenty dollars is alot better than the 700+ dollars i spent before finally breaking down and drilling the intake.
There is a how to on this site with pictures but I would be glad to provide instruction and pics if you would like.
Thanks a ton and see ya on the dunes!
