At what temps in your cooling system are you calling "overheating"? and what are your accurate temps in your engine bay?

Eddy!!!..... Yep you are absolutely correct my friend. Airflow not only for the radiators but also in the engine bay. There is hardly any air flow in the engine bay. I am getting fans installed to suck air in as well as to suck it out of the engine bay, hopefully the fans will keep the air moving ....
I have a SBC 350 with a 600 CFM carb hence I have the typical vapor lock issue.

On my IFG 60 replica with a v8 I have a 4 core large radiator upfront with a spal fan and its not enough.......

Jimbo:
Yes I kept the one up front and so far no issues with cooling but like I said a 3 core aluminum rad with a high flow fan.
