Hi,
I had a 460 for 12 years so I know how hot they get.

1- take a small 4" x 4" piece of paper and put it infront of rad while fans are ON. if it sticks to the rad you have them correct, if it doesn't then the fans are blowing the wrong way ! rewire them.

2- You can NEVER burp the rad properly. The only way to do it is to put a T fitting (from a prestone rad backflush kit) in the TOP line of the heater line from the intake manifold.Open it and fill the water until it runs out, now all the air is out.

Good luck,
Perry.
