I just bought this shelby and it runs and drives perfect. Except that it overheats. What would cause this and how do i fix it becuase my heat runs way to hot and im starting to sweat

first make sure the fan turns on when car is 3/4 to hot. if no then the relay or coolant sensor is probably bad, if you unplug the 2 wire sensor by your upper rad hose fan shoud turn on in about 5 sec after unpluged, if no then relay or fan bad.
could be thermostat if fan is turning on.
or worst case is head gasket

The fan was seized up. Replaced it a new universal. Wish the still had the old metal ones!

I have about 3 or 4 of the metal blade fans if needed...
Also check to make sure the lower valance is in place, it will cause an overheating problem going down the road...
