Okay here it goes.
Engine built high end for 1/4 mile racing, same with rear end, drive train and transmission to include a B&M 3600 Holeshot converter. Engine is 350 bored over .30 (355HP), OVH all steel ultradyne roller cam with Keth Black pistons and rings. Lower engine block (stock cast iron) as well the exhaust manifolds (stock cast iron). Milidon 6 quart oil race pan and pump with built in heat shield. Exhaust pipes and mufflers seperate dual flowmasters.
Ignition: MSD Blaster 2 Coil and MSD Series 6 igniton spak control.
Intake: Eldelbrock Performer RPM and 850 CFM Holley quad. carb.
Drive Train:TH350 Automatic with reduced gears, 4:10 posi rear (10bolt).
Has 5 blade Flexlite Fan for radiator engine cooling. (fan blades are 3-4 inches from radiator).
Fuel: I can only run SUPER, anything of a lower grade and the engine knocks.
PROBLEM: Overheating 230 - 240 degrees
I changed out the the radiator installed new 3 core top flow original style, intalled 160 deg. thermostat all new hoses, new water pump, had the entire system purged/flushed (which had all kinds of rust and brown particles in it), installed missing fan shroud. Had the system pressure checked. Had the engine checked for bad seals and leaks and any warpage as well as pressure checked for oil and compression. All checked good. No signs of problems.
The above worked well for about 250 miles, now the problem is back radiator loses about a quart of fluid after running for about 20 minutes on highway and a faint smell of overheated or slightly burnt oil. No smoke coming from anywhere, no oil loss and no water in the oil.
Anyone here a good cooling expert or have any advice.
The vehicle is said to be on the line of Prostreet/Race but barely street legal. Oh, I get 8 mpg highway, and 6 mpg street and she runs great otherwise and sounds excellent though I go about 5 feet chirp into second, and 7 feet and chirp into third. Wet pavement is a bit on the sketchy end. :sad:
