The car is a 1950 Chevy. It has a 1972-74 camaro 250 4.1L. I just recently bought it about 6 months ago. I haven't even broken the motor yet. I drove it probably twice since the motor was put it. My concern simply has been that the temperature reading from my aftermarket gauge is about the same when my old motor started giving heating issues. The fan isn't too far from the radiator.
I did drive it tow days ago. It stayed at about 200 and occasionally would go up to 220. Once I shut the car off the gauge would go up to 240. And you can definitely smell burning as well as feel a lot of heat from the radiator and hoses. Sorry, I hope this gives everyone enough info.
