tickled figured id share.heat!

Well, as I live in the bullhead city/ mohave valley az/ needles, ca area(more referee to by near lake havasu) it gets 118 or so here in summer. As it has been recently.I never usually drive my old truck in the 105-110+ heat but I had to today. First time.and iva gotta say I was extremely tickled it didn't even hesitate to overheat or go above 190 or so for that fact.I even got stuck right in roadwork traffic idling for minutes at a time. Im running a mild 10:1 355 with a 165 thernostat I believe, a 4 row big radiator no fan shroud and a flex fan.first vehicle that has ran this good and cool in the heat between me and my dad.I love my old chevy! Maybe its really not a huge thing but I figured id share! I was almost certain without a shroud it was going to overheat.
