Engine Cooling problem
1979 Chevy Corvette V8 Two Wheel Drive Automatic 120K miles
I have a 79 corvette. This winter I put in a 355 crate motor, a 4-core radiator, a 13-inch Hayden electric fan, brand new water pump, new radiator air dam foam strips, and all new hoses. No matter how I drive, or for how long, it always heats up to 250-260. It heats up really bad when I am stuck at a stoplight. But it doesn't even cool down when I get on the highway. The only thing I could think of is that I took out the flex fan that was on it and I also took off the fan shroud. What can/should I do to cool this car down?
