but during the summer months here in TN. it wants to run 210-220 degrees. Im not sure what to do with it.. this is stop & go I am assuming? I'd try a rigid fan blade properly spaced into the schroud if you have one laying around & other than that as said you might just need more radiator. I got a 2 core Champion off of evilbay for $189 to my door which ain't bad & I only had to redrill one hole in the dr side flat flange & it cooled OK but a DD 318 sure ain't gonna test its cooling capabilities No, it gets warmer if sitting still for a long period..

No, it gets warmer if sitting still for a long period.. & that is even worse than stop and go cuz the pump (water flow) and fan (air flow) speeds are the slowest they can possibly be plus not even a hint of air being forced in cuz of no forward vehicle movement

a problem you may run across on a recore is the bottom tank. a 4 row will need a 2 5/8" wide bottom tank and 2" wide bottom tank won't take more than 3 rows. also, keep track of tube spacing; stay somewhere around 3/8"-7/16". being in the radiator business for 35 yrs i can tell you that its possible to expand a bottom tank from 2inch to 2 3/4 inch,any good rad shop should know how to do it
my ladder of success is missing some rungs

Controller picks up the fan speed as needed without adding more fuel to the fire.
