Question

Answer
Hello,  

GThis is not my speciaty, however a good guess is you don't have the coolant sensor and temp guage harnesses
not attached to engine.

I do not know the locations of these sensors on the engine.

I will warn you if this engine runs hot- it self destructs and if not careful you will be installing a new engine too!

Do not drive this aluminum engine hot with the cooling fans not working!
