Hey guys, I picked up a FFR Challenge Car from a body shop my father's buddy owns this past Tuesday and it keeps overheating while idling. The body shop techs built the car for my dad and I as part of a trade for an old stingray the owner of the shop wanted out of our collection.
I drove the car around the airport where we are storing it for the time being and realized it was overheating fairly quickly, I checked the fluids and had the electric fan turned on the entire time it was running. The water temp kept pushing over 250 F and the oil temp wasn't showing a reading.
The car has a Ford Racing 5.0L engine with a TKO 500 transmission. As far as I know the engine has little to no hours on it.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
