Default ITS THERE!!

my 67 stang thats been giving me all the problems is finally finished, but then i ran into a problem overheating! Dorve the car unleashed the 331 beast from hell and I just watched the temperature gauge rising with speedo, so i threw down 150 for an aluminum finned 3 copper core radiator an electric fan and a shroud.

Do you guys think that will stop my overheating? Or do i need something else?

It depends on what was causing the overheating in the first place. If it is because of your timing, faulty/incorrectly installed thermostat, etc., then no. Hopefully the mods you are doing will take care of it. If not, you may want to look into these othere things.

Good luck!
