New Radiator also. I have the fans hard wired, and when stopped they can keep the temp steady, and very slowly get it to go down. what I'm wondering is if I'm missing something in the front of the car. The person that owned the car before me was not the brightest crayon in the box, ended up in a ditch, and sucked water into the intake, blowing the motor. Thats why I rebuilt the motor. Long story short, the front of the car was never put back together completely, and I only have a half-*** bumper, then empty space till the front fascia. I was looking over the owners manual and it showed a lower radiator baffle that kind of looked like an air scoop underneath the car that blows air into the radiator while moving. Am I correct? I have not had a chance to find a completely intact camaro around me that I can look at.
I've had a lot of issues with my 87 IROC, but the guy that owned it last blew the engine and then stuck a 305 in it and i have brand new vortec heads and some hedman hedders and new intake and such but I'm missing my fan shroud, it's the piece that keeps cool air blowing threw the fan onto the engine instead of just cycling hot air around, so if you don't have some kind of plastic part that is in front of the radiator connected to the fan than that could be a problem like mine.
