Problem with Engine heat

My engine runs cool when I'm driving, but when I stop and turn off the ignition, the engine begins to heat up. It becomes too hot to hold my hand on. I thought it was a problem with the IC, so I added a new Johnson pump, a new lower CCHE, an aux. IC and ran 3/4" heater hose throught the fender well. I have no idea why it is heating up after being turned off, my only guess is that the anti-freeze stops moving and stops the cooling down also. I use regular pre-mixed anti--freeze, is that the problem?
Thanks, JOHNBE

My ass. Look at it.
You pretty much answered your question, no air is passing through your engine compartment, water pump is not running, heat rises so.......

Happens to every vehicle :wink: :)

Thats normal
I use a three speed tween fan to cool the engine and i set it up(first gear only) to work even with the engine off. It cools up to 165* and things are still hot in there
