Default Big Block Cooling

I don't have a lot of hours on mine yet but in a 90 degree day it does not go over 200 degrees at a stop light. Its is a 460 BB just under 500HP. Used a copper brass US Radiator desert cool radiator. 16" spal fan with the spal controller. The controller has a themostat and it starts at 50% fan speed at 160 and goes to full fan speed at 180 degree water temperature. Also have a manual overide switch on the dash for full fan speed. Key is the shrouds for the radiator. Made panels under, top and on sides to ensure all air flow goes thru the radiator. Seems that with the panels temps dropped a few degrees. Posted pic's of the radiator and fan. Don't have panel/shroud pic's. Just took body off and sent to paint.
