1996 Ford Mustang mileage: 156,000.I have changed and bought new radiator hose's, thermostat, water pump, temperature sensor fan and fan clutch and fan shroud on this Mustang and had the heads checked. It is still running close to hot, higher than normal. What else is there left for me to do beside go to a three fluke radiator? And how can I add 50 more horsepower with out the blower kit, something simple and not so expensive.

Check block and heads for plugged passages or possible sludge in the bottom of the block. Your new radiator may not have enough capacity to cool the engine. The radiator fan may not be working properly. As for adding more horsepower, keep in mind, more horsepower equates to more engine heat.
