Overheating Big Block

[mprat]

Yes it is a serpentine single belt. The water pump came in the kit. The fans are not flat against radiator. there is a flat aluminum plate that the fans mount to that holds them about 1/2in from the radiator. The fans are on thermostat control, and come on at 180deg, or when the air is on. the plate is solid there is no rubber flaps. I had those on my previous car but this one does not. The fans seem to move air across the radiator fine but nothing to brag about. I put in a new temp gauge to make sure it was correct. I might suspect it could be in the fans, being no flaps it would not allow good air flow going down the road. I sent a pic to check out and see what you think. I tried to spare no expense on my cooling system. The fans came as an assembly with the radiator....
