Default Re: Engine temp rises when I get to cruise speed

Beware of aftermarket fans and shrouds. I bought a '51 Ford that had a aftermarket fan and shroud plus air. The air didn't work. I removed the air and left the fan and shroud thinking they would help the cooling. Still ran hot at idle or at speed! Put a piece of paper in front of rad. at idle and it fell off! Took off the aftermarket fan and shroud and guess what, no more overheat!
The fan I used was a stock four blade fan and it will hold a piece of paper tight to the rad. These are just my results, yours may very.
