With all the pieces of threads about "my car runs hot" I thought I'd open it up again.
My 72 E with Euro 2.7 p/c's got up to about 220 today at the end of an hours worth of spirited parts chasing around town. Were up by Chicago and I suspect Les Paul guy and Ep are out and about as well. I'd guess its 90 plus although the forcast was only for 85-87.
I'll admit it would have stayed around 200-205 (maybe less- it got hotter the more I struck out in my parts chasing if you know what I mean!)if I drove it like my wife would. So I guess its doing pretty well, oh no front cooler although I will get one someday.
Still had 60 psi of oil pressure at 3500rpm so thats good as well.
So I guess this is proof that a 2.7 can live when its hot.
Get out and drive its nice out!
