Cooling fan problem

I recently rebuilt a 350 for my old 1991 RS, and it had a 2.8 V6 before the 350. The fan on the car right now is a 14 inch fan and doesnt seem to cool enough. When I drive constantly fast, like on a highway it doesnt get hot, but just cruising around down it gets super hot. Would a larger fan pull more air off the radiator???I've changed thermostats, new water pump, new rebuilt engine, i'm just running out of ideas. Any help?

Re: Cooling fan problem

Im shure you didn't have the 2.8 because the last year it was it the camaro was 89...lucky me I think the V6 would have been a 3.1, but I dont know for shure...
Was the fan switched when the engine was switched? I know the V8s needed more air pulled through the radiator...I think they have a dual fan setup.
If the fan wasnt switched at the time of swap, I would recommend going to a salvage yard and getting the dual fan setup out of a v8 camaro...you might also need a bigger radiator...
Dont drive your car around until you get this fixed, you dont want to overheat that new engine...would be a shame...

Re: Cooling fan problem

Did you replace or reprogram the ECM?

Most importantly is the air dam in place in one piece?
