Well I don't know if the car is running hot. When I got it the carbs were leaking fuel out every gasket. I sent the T-bodies to get rebuilt and I rebuild the carbs my self. It doesn't have an extra oil cooler and I just wanted to add more air flow into the engine compartment. Also I adjusted the valves because they were to tight so once I get it back running I will know more about the oil getting hot or not.
