mayby the thermostat was instlled backwards, or the headgaskets, upside down, the must say front pointing toward front of car.

fan working? coolant bubbles gone yet? cars just dont overheat for any reason

THE ENGINE WAS PUT TOGHTER BY FASTER 5.0 THAT IS HOW I GOT IT IN THE CRAT AND THERE IS NO BUBBLES IN THE SYSTEM.

THE WATER PUMP IS ON THE RIGHT WAY I GOT THE DIAGRAM FROM ALLDATE . I DONT NOW IF THE GAUGE IS RIGHT . BUT WITH MY OLD 302 ENGINE THE TEMP WAS ALWAYS HALF WAY . COULD IT BE BECAUSE I HAVE A CAM IN IT .
