Default Keeping my 454 BBC cool...

Any advice would be much appreciated...I just bought a 1972 Monte with a 454 and Stealth EFI. The cooling fan is belt powered. I am wondering if I should go for a secondary fan on the front of the radiator or swap out the original fan with an electric. I am not used to the heat a 454 puts out and I don't like seeing that temp hitting 200 in traffic.

Just adding a fan in the front might not get you the results you want. You would have to check for push and pull. Make sure you have a fan shroud. On my souped up 400 Pontiac, i run a constant, no clutch, belt driven flex fan with a 4 row core radiator, no overheating at all.
