Happened to me too. Water Pump belt was slipping and it only overheated at high 
RPM's. Russ

Subject: [UnifliteWorld] Overheating


We have a problem with the port engine (Crusader 350 big block Chevy)
overheating slightly at idle. It may go to 200 deg F on the gauge

Once we hit 1000 RPM or more it quickly drops down to steady 190
degree range where it has always been.

I changed the impeller and installed a new raw water pump, but it
didn't help

Next I was thinking checking the heat xchanger (once I remove the end-
cap, will I need new seals?) or replacing the thermostat.

Is it easy to replace a thermostat and could that caiuse the engine to
run warm at idle?

The risers/manifolds are 4 years old
