I'm curious about what temperature your engine runs at. With the fan shroud in front of the radiator doesn't it cut down on the air flow? Are the fans on all the time or temp controlled? How many rows of tubes do you have in the radiator? I am having a heating issue with my GTX so your set up interests me.

Thank you. I think I can use some of that information. I have a 440 that was bored .060 by the previous owner and it has always run hot. I think part of my problem is an inaccurate electric gauge once the engine hits 200 degrees. Changing the thermostat has helped. Mechanical gauge is next.

Pull the thermostat if applicable. No restriction in coolant flow. Coolant circulates faster. Good luck. My Dad had a 68 GTX.

Have you pulled plugs to see if you are running lean

Don't know who your question is directed to. GTX JDC or myself. My plugs are money. I like to run a little rich myself. Running lean can cause temp issues. Good thinking BBody

Awesome!! Absolutely wicked ride!
Just curious where you got those yellow headlights? I'm digging them for my 68 but honestly haven't found a whole lot online about them. They seem quite rare to find~

I believe there is a paint or coating you can put on the lights.

Use or buy a temp gun ( Harbor Freight ) to get and accurate temp reading before digging into all the other stuff.

I have not pulled the plugs yet. If anything I believe it runs rich based on the dyno sheet and what the engine builder told me. Will be checking the plugs and jetting etc in the near future. Thanks

I have done that. Actually my Harbor Freight gun isn't very accurate compared to the other two I have. Part of the problem is the temp gauge accuracy, will be changing out sending unit or replacing gauge with a mechanical one. Thanks

Beautiful car.. what size wheels and tires on the front? They look like a good fit and still an aggressive stance. I got a good deal on a set of wheels and tires, but I hate the pizza cutter wheels. Way too skinny. Thank you for your time.
