LT1 Overheating... Help!!
Ok, I took a 96' LT1 out of a Camaro and put it into my 76' vette. I made sure that the hoses are correctly positioned (since it's a reverse flo unit). So it hits 180 degrees at idle, but when I start moving, it starts to climb and get hotter and hotter. I have two fans blowing constantly (almost 3000 cfm) and when I back out the two bleeder screws (one under the thermostat and one after it) water pours out consistantly. So what's going on, can any one help.
Thanks.
Thanks.
