Above is the best suggestion but:Mike of Simple Engineering is the man to contact. About all of us have his aftermarket fan. Makes a world of difference.

Before you do anything else, install an updated thermostat from Mike at Simple Engineering. Completely solved my heat problem at idle. Make sure to use the GM anti-freeze when you refill it.Does anyone know of an aftermarket fan for the engine. I find that mine runs a little hot and the temperature really rises if I sit still for a little. Definitely not a parade vehicle.
Hey Stew in Arizona, I'm curious ... why GM anti-freeze ??? I changed mine over to "the Green stuff" 5 years ago. I'm not a DexTron fan.

'Because that’s what it should have in it from GM. You are not supposed to mix them.
You should not have to worry about your engine temps. Your SSR is a great parade vehicle, once you get it sorted out. It's not hard or complicated. I have been troubleshooting and improving cooling systems on the SSR (and building fans) for 12+ years.
