My question is about a 351 Windsor engine. On cool days (70 degrees), it runs fine and the engine temp hovers only halfway to the red zone and the oil pressure is steady. On hot days (over 80 degrees), it runs hot and will overheat if I push it at all. When the engine idles down to 600-700 RPM, the oil pressure will dive to zero if I don't keep the RPM's above 700-800. Any ideas on how to solve this problem? What about trying a lower temp thermostat, maybe a 180? Thanks.
