Customer Question

I bought a 63 buick special.It has a buick 350 in it.
My problem is that once it heats up, the motor will shut off , wont crank at all until it cools down for about 30min. It will start again, run strong than shut off again once warm.

 

Optional Information:
Make : Buick
Year (other): 1963
Make (other): special
Model: convert
Engine: V8

Already Tried:
Removed t stat, changed temp gauge,electric fans work, could the starter / solenoid be over heating and shutting down ,motor wont crank on do anything while turning key. The guy I bought it from said he thinks the head gaskets were installed wron and blocking water ports ??
