Chris,

It might be instructive to measure input/output comparison temperatures =
over a range of, say, 160=CB=9AF to 212=CB=9AF.  Everything I=E2=80=99ve =
read so far says that a 25=CB=9AF drop between inlet and outlet is =
pretty typical.  If it=E2=80=99s dropping more than that, I would think =
that the coolant is spending more time in the radiator due to slow flow. =
 I have read that the idea that the water is circulating too fast for an =
adequate temperature drop in the radiator has been discredited but I =
couldn=E2=80=99t find the source of that statement.  It does make sense =
to me, however, that if the water flow is completely unrestricted some =
areas will be cooled more effectively than others as friction loss drags =
down flow in smaller passages in the engine as flow increases to the =
larger passages.

Checking the temperature at various places on the block and intake =
manifold could yield some useful information too.

I just remembered something as I was typing this.  Some serpentine belt =
arrangements cause the water pump to turn the other direction on the BOP =
V8.   there are various types of impeller, some with straight vanes, =
some with curved ones, and I=E2=80=99ve seen both =E2=80=9Cdirections=E2=80=
=9D of curved vanes  =E2=80=94 I wonder if your car ended up with one =
that is meant to turn the other way.

I've experiment with different restrictor plates with no change. =
Changing pump speed didn't help either. The difference between radiator =
in and outlet is 10=C2=B0C (50F). Not enough I would say. Maybe making =
the pump more slower? It was running on a ratio of 0.8 slower than =
crank, currently 1:1 speed. Any ideas? 10 Liters are circulating.
