    I've noticed a persistant problem with my small blocks: They run hot. With a 160 themostat, headers, in mild temps-200 degrees at idle.
    I've got the 7 blade fan on this time, stock engine with plenty of miles, shroud is in place, timing's at 10 initial, new stock radiator, new hoses-with spring. All the right stuff. I'm going to even replace the exhaust-what am I missing?:Do No:

    Make sure your timing is dead on too!! That could cause things to be hotter than normal.
