Engine temps

[Speedtospare]

what is the best range in terms of engine temps that you'd want your 302 to hover around on the warmest days we may see in the Summerchant? 180 or 190?

Ideal is 180-185 on a 302 but it may climb a little high on hot days to around 200. Mod motors run hotter than push rod engine. Mod motors high speed fan doesnt even come on until 210 deg.

Unfortunately everyone I've taken it too never seem to be able to get my car running correctly it's been to the most of the reputable shops and I've been a pretty patientian guy but with over 10 grand spent on parts and labour with the car still runNing this way it's just starting to piss me right off.

I run 180 to 200 on a 500 hp built 306 with 6psi paxton stock fan and water pump. It stays in the garage on hot humid days and never seen track or traffic

If you mean dual Mishimoto fans, dump them for a single Taurus or similar fan along with a quality controller. That will get your temps back in check then you can move onto the running issue.
