Drove about 30 miles on the highway first 25 miles or so ran between 177-185 then temps started climbing got off highway around 208 then 214 by the time I got home. Cools down at idle within 10 min . Motor recently sat alittle over a year while front frame got done. Maybe need to flush the block ? Plugs look great light tan and clean .

FYI Ford, Classic Mustang Tech Discussion » Running hot » 8/19/2018 7:59 AM |
Sorry been off for awhile . The motor is a 93 5.0 block and heads ported by power heads , E303 cam , Edelbrock performer RPM intake , Demon 650 carb , HEI style dizzy , plugs gapped at .050 motorcraft COPPER now .
It is a new 3 row aluminum radiator and 3300cfm fan . I just swapped lower radiator hose to one with a spring in it to play it safe .
MS I don't think I would need to modify any water ports in this combo being it's a 93 block and heads . I did adjust timing alittle more but with all this rain haven't been able to drive her . I will keep you guys posted with my next cruise .
Thank you all for all the great advise .

So swapped out plugs to motorcraft copper . platinum plugs looked a bit lean . Noticed float bowls looked low . Raised both float bowls and re adjusted carb and car seems to be running much cooler . I also installed a mechanical guage along with my digital guage to verify temps are right . Cruised for about 10 miles went as high as 195 but mainly around 187 .
FYI Ford, Classic Mustang Tech Discussion » Running hot » 8/10/2018 5:30 AM |
The guage is from Dakota digital . Gaskets are good I pulled motor apart and verified . What is weird when I fire heat gun where the header meets the head about 1" on the pipe it reads between 215-235°F . Someone says it should be I. The 400's on the header . If I fire the gun at the collector is around 437° .
FYI Ford, Classic Mustang Tech Discussion » Running hot » 8/10/2018 5:23 AM |
I did replace the stat . I am now using the Mr.Gasket 180° one supposed to allow better flow when open . I did verify temp with a heat gun read 210 on upper radiator hose . Not sure if spark plugs would help but I am running autolite double platinum and was gonna switch to motorcraft copper based plugs . I read somewhere our 302 don't like platinum plugs .

FYI Ford, Classic Mustang Tech Discussion » Putting fox rear in my 65 axle question » 5/24/2017 1:28 PM |
Yes we are using custom Moser axles with Steve's bracket over the 9" end was wondering about brake fitment . I have a cradle that uses the four link set up but I will look into some of your suggestions I defiantly would like better handling .
FYI Ford, Classic Mustang Tech Discussion » Putting fox rear in my 65 axle question » 5/24/2017 10:34 AM |
I'm putting the Anthony Jones Engineering rear subframe in my 65 FB. It uses the fox body 4 link and rear end . I had the rear shortened to fit the car and had 9" end caps welded on. I would like to use Mustang Steve's disk brake kit and was wondering if I would need Fox axles or older 9" axles for the brakes to line up.

Sorry I guess I really asked a bad question. My 65 FB was involved in a passenger collision at some point. It is currently on a frame machine and were having trouble finding the measurements to assure the shouck towers and radiator support are correct. Any help would be greatly appriciated.
