My 55 1st series 235 has a problem over heating i have replaced the thermostat still no change, also ran the motor without the thermostat and still started over heating the water pump was also recently replaced so i think it may be something to do with the radiator but not sure?
Welcome Texas55! Post this thread over on the 47-54 forum. You'll get a lot of good advise from those who've been there, done that! There are a lot of possibilities for that 235 to overheat. Bad radiator, clogged water jacket in the motor itself, timing issues, etc. Is the motor original or a later model 235? Again, welcome!
