[QUOTE="5one9, post: 204679, member: 4946"] no, I’m overly good on pulleys. It just runs hotter than I like when idling around. I was going to install A/C but I know that will only make things worse. I use an 18-3/8” plastic flex fan that pulls a ton of air and I’ll add the electric fan just for idling. If the things wants to run in the 190s I wonder if I’d be better off just running a 195f thermostat and letting it be controlled instead of finding its own happy spot and floating around. I think I’d be about as well off without a thermostat right now. another thing is the engine bay is nowhere near the size of the original Caddy bays and there isn’t much of an evacuation route for the hot air. That’s to be expected when you stuff 500 inches into a space designed for 250 inches. [/QUOTE]
