Default Cool 466BB Ford

I have a SPF with a 466 BB Ford and purchased it used with 2800 miles on it. When I first got it, the car ran very hot in slow traffic. It cooled down when I manually switched on my dual fans. After a lot of frustation and looking around I noticed that one of my fans was blowing and the other sucking. A simple switch of wires corrected the problem! Over this past winter I decided to pull the engine down ( Concerned over all the overheating and how the original customer treated it) and found that the intake gaskets were pretty melted and almost broken around the water jackets. I have completely redone the engine and now pulls 662HP on the dyno and 618 ft Lbs of torque at 4500 RPM. The car now runs around 170 degrees during hot 90 degree days. The only problem that I have with the car is shfting the new TKO600. I think that I am going to install a Pro 50 shifter.
