Default Water puddle
When I was running a 5.0 EFI the water was always low when I checked it. The car would idle for 20 - 30 minutes and not overheat. This past winter I installed a 354 stroker kit in my motor. It still runs low on water but when I idle for 3 - 4 minutes the temperature will climb to 210. I think I have a problem with the adjustable fan control.
I just got back from the London Cobra Show. I have about 2200 miles on this motor and over 19,000 miles on the car.
