My keyboard decided it needed a cleaning at the most worst time. Anyway, I would like some suggestions on cooling my newly built (10 miles) 302 Bronco II. As some of you may know it is weel built. .040 over, TRW forged flat-tops, 650 Edel. elec. choke carb. worked heads, cam, headers, custom 4-core radiator, and brand new EDEL and motorsports top to bottom. I installed a 190 degree therm. to keep the temp up a little. I have a 16 inch electric fan on the radiator. I am not sure what it will do on the long and short highway trips but idle in the driveway it stays on about 225 degrees during a 90 plus day. ALSO the fan therm. is not kicking on until very late. i think it is a 180 but you know how long it takes to get the radiator temp. up that much. Is this unacceptable or should i look at finding some way to add a flex fan? Should or can I get a 140 thermostat for the electric? I am very tight on space and could not easily find a flex that would bolt right on the water pump when i went looking for the electric fan. One more thing. I have a shallow pan on a C-4 that should have had a deep pan on it. will this make the tranny run good for a few minutes then not 20 mins. later? maybe not holding enough fluid or letting it heat up too quick. I do not have my cooler hooked up until next week when my lines and fittings come in.

I have an '89 F250 4X4 with a 302 and a M5OD tranny. My question is, will a bad lifter (or two) cause oil pressure drops after the engine is warmed up? What I mean by drops is, while setting at a stop when the engine is fully warmed up, the pressure will momentarilly dip TIA Roger Lesson for the day: Remember, when someone annoys you, it takes 42 muscles in your face to frown. BUT, it only takes 4 muscles to extend your arm and smack the a**hole upside the head. _______________________________________________________ Get 100% FREE Internet Access powered by Excite Visit http://www.ford-trucks.com//lc/lc.php?action=do&link=http://freelane.excite.com/freeisp ------------------------------ End of perf-list Digest V2000 #82 ********************************* ---------------------------------------------------------- Ford Truck Enthusiasts Performance, Hot-Rod and Custom Truck List Send posts to perf-list ford-trucks.com If you ever want to remove yourself from this mailing....
