[QUOTE="d_daffron, post: 658205, member: 4983"] I assume since you havnt said anything about it the answer is no, but you havnt changed the waterpump anytime recently, As you probably know there are two different waterpumps for a small block Ford depending on whether your belt system spins the waterpump clockwise or counterclockwise. My best guess is: I had an issue on my big block ford where all but two fins rusted off the waterpump from sitting without coolant in it. It always ran a little hotter than I'd like till another fin finally fell off the pump and it started overheating. Might be worth checking, would just cost some coolant and a couple gaskets, also while youre in there make sure the separator plate is still in decent shape behind the pump. [/QUOTE]
