We have been rebuilding a 1964 Thunderbird Convertible. The engine was rebuilt by a machine shop in Louisville, KY that is meticulous in every way. It has a new stock radiator and a new heater core. The car wants to overheat at an idle. We have tried different thermostats and two different clutch fans. One thermostatic, and now a centrifugal. We have checked the block with a Snap On Thermal Imager and it shows about 230 at the sender and would probably climb if we left it running. We have also installed a 14 inch Hayden thermostatically controlled fan to see if that would help and it has not. Any ideas? I'm starting to think a head gasket problem. Thanks
