I have a 305 bored 40 over, my temps seem to be around the 200 mark, what is considered over heating for these engines?

 

its best to stay around 160 to 180 thats what my old engine ran try and get it cooler if u hit over 210 or more then u need to worry 305 blocks can go 40 over but its not the best idea the walls get thin and start to warp when they get to hot try a bigger fan or a performance fan that may help out better with the cooling or a bigger radiator

 

Thanks, I thought about seeing if a dual electric fan would help lower the temps also.

 

they do sometimes but the best way to go is a turbo fan i think had one on a mustang i built it was around 210 then droped to around 180 with bigger fan and radiator change ur thermostat also get one rated around 180 190 some stock ones run diff check it all out

also what i have seen some people do is when they get two fans take one out and mod it to fit backwords blowing on the motor dont know if it works but have seen it lol

 

i have a 160 thermostat right now, i have the stock fan on the car also.

 

ya change both get 180 stat and a new fan or two

 

thanks alot for your help

 

no prob we al need help lol i know alot about motors but dont know **** about trannys
