Hey everyone,
Picked up my 300 with twin MPI 5.0s/Alphas. One motor was completely broken down to the short (starboard) and other in working order. Tuned up the port motor, replaced T-Stat, raw water impeller, and all hoses. Runs @ around 180 deg @ 1100 RPM. Anytime I push it over 1800 (8-10mph) begins to overheat. In neutral can run at high RPM without any overheating issues. Assuming it's just too much to move for the little guy but curious to hear other opinions.
Also outfitting a 305 HO auto motor for donor shortblock. Will MPI top half bolt up accordingly?
Thanks for your time and any humor that will probably be added at my expense
