Why does a 305 engine always over heat the coolant is NOT leaking?

It could be thermostat, radiator or water pump.
AnswerBad or no thermostat, bad water pump, plugged radiator, plugged water jacket, loose fan belt, bad clutch fan, radiator too small for application.Also try bleeding the coolant system of air.
is the coolant fan electric or manual?
What make and model vehicle is this 305 in?
if its a 3rd gen firebird or camaro, check for blockage between the condenser and radiator
[air blockage] leaves and junk get trapped in between the two pieces. flush out with water hose or air pressure. good luck
Addition:
I had a 305 that had a thermostat stuck completely open, it overheated because the coolant went through the radiator so fast it didnt get cooled off. For like $20 its a good first step.

Why is Water is coming into the car and overheating?
If you mean engine coolant is getting into the car, the heater core is leaking coolant causing the coolant level to drop and that causes the engine to over heat.
Is it safe to drive your car if engine coolant has leaked out?
It will be safe to drive short distance as long as the car does not over heat. You can top up the engine coolant or use water/coolant mixture till you fix the problem which could be leaking hose pipe. leaking radiator or faulty radiator cap
What does it mean when coolant is leaking from the car?
If coolant is leaking from a car it means that your radiator has a hole in it. If this is not fixed the car will over heat.
What does the cooling system do within an engine?
It cycles coolant through the engine. Heat from the engine is transferred to the coolant through a heat exchange. The heated coolant then cycles through the system to the radiator, where heat from the coolant undergoes another heat exchange, transferring heat from the coolant to the air which passes through the radiator. Heat will also transfer from the motor to the air forced over the motor by the engine fan.

Why do you get a glaze flim on the inside windshield when heat is on?
The heater core is leaking coolant.
Why would your 92 acura integra be leaking on your passenger side floor board?
There is a good chance that the heater core has rusted out. This is a little radiator inside the passenger compartment for transferring heat from the engine coolant to the air in the cabin. Always fun to replace.
Where is the heat regulator in your Ford Escort?
Actually, the heat regulator for the engine is the thermostat. It closes off the coolant when the engine is cold and circulates more coolant when the engine is hot.
How do you know if the thermostat is bad or if a hose is leaking in a 96 Grand Am?
If the thermostat is faulty and always open, the engine will not heat up to operating temperature. If it is stuck closed, your engine will overheat. Check to see if the hose is leaking around the clamps at each end. Tighten the clamps. If the hose has a hole or break, it will be spraying coolant everywhere. Drain the system, replace the hose and refill the cooling system.
Do block heaters and coolant heaters work the same?
yes in a way. block heaters heat the coolant in the block there for warming the block up. coolant heaters heat the coolant out side the engine like in the hoses and radiater. and when the coolant gets hot enough it opens the thermosate and starts flowing through the engine..The coolant heater should be hooked into the engine so that it heats only the engine and the heater core. If the coolant heater is trying to heat the radiator then it will not work very well to heat the engine, you would need a lot of BTUs to heat the radiator as it will shed all that heat to the air that is surrounding it.
Why would a car leak antifreeze only when the heat is on inside the car but doesn't leak when the heat isn't on?
The heater in a car is a little radiator under the dashboard. It's called the heater core. There's a valve in the water system that sends hot coolant into the heater core when you turn on the heat, and keeps the coolant in the engine when you don't want heat. If the car is leaking antifreeze when the heat is on but not when it's off, something in the heater system has a hole in it. Because there's always coolant in the heater core and the hoses that feed it, my first thought is the valve itself is bad.
Why does your 2001 caravan put out heat spurratically?
Check to verify the coolant level is full. If the vehicle has a engine coolant temperature guage, does it reach and maintain a normal temperature duing vehicle operation? If not have a mechanic check for a leaking head gasket.
