You may want to drop the thermostat to what they where running in the 60,s and that is a 165 in FE,s . Just a thought , I did and I have a 165 in for eight years . You start cycling cast blocks with modern aluminum heads 25 to 30 degrees or more on a continous bases I have to believe you are going to have problems . Check the CFM,s of your fan you want at lease a 3600 CFM . A lot of the kits have cheap low volume fans 1600 or so and they will not cut it. The radiator maybe to small that came with the Kit as well. Mine was.
