Hi , this Barracuda of mine has always run hot on the open road, it can idle around town in the middle of a scorching Aussie summer all day and sit at 180 but get it out on the open road at 3000 rpm and it just keeps climbing. Seen 210 last night in cool air.
Engine is a half full 440/547 with Indy heads, tune is good, has large ali radiator, electric pump, powerful twin fans with cowl, using water wetter and I also have a larger engine oil cooler.
I can’t remember if I have a thermostat with small holes or a reduction spacer in there at the moment but know I have run both.
Any tricks ??
