I'm leaning toward cooling system issues now. If your rad was 30% clogged, I hope your cooling passages in the block aren't also clogged.

The engine is a crate motor with about 15k miles on it. The radiator is OE I believe. I am leaning towards a radiator as well. What are some of the best sources for Aluminum radiators? Would it be best to get one with or without electric fans? I'm looking for simplicity and function.
