you need to PURGE the AIR from the sytem through the bleeders. Open them up , then fill radiator till anti freeze comes out them.

Then run and cool down and do again.

If the coolant is not the correct color, you did not get it flushed or you may have cross contamination from the oil system from a head gasket or crack somewhere. That could also be where your excess air is coming from. Check the oil level and it's color, too.

Hey guys well I talk to a local radiator shop. And they seem to think that all I have is AIR in the system. He said that Its pretty common that the LT1's take a while to bleed all the air. SO Ill try that and im sure IF i have anymore problems ILL let you guys know about it.
Thanks
