Well, I'm driving my stock 71 1.7 from north AZ. To south Phoenix, and it's going to 108, or higher. My concern is heat and my engine. Never drove it with this type of hot weather. Should I have any concerns . (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

I'm sure each engine is different. I would assume a stock system in good operating order would be OK. My 1911cc with carbs ran hotter than I liked when the temps were over 100F, freeway oil temp hit 250 a couple times. I since added an external oil cooler and switched to Joe Gibbs air-cooled oil and it runs 225F max. Feel free to shoot me a PM if you need any help while in PHX.
