I have a 429 in mine and its almost ready to be put on the street for first time since I bought it so I'm not sure how it will work, It has a 6 core radiator sitting at a angle with 2 fans, 0ne is pusher and other is puller. I installed 195 degree thermostat. Car has been sitting since 2006.

On my 66 Lemans when I got it last year. It has 468 BB Pontaic. ran 240 plus within 10 mins and even higher unless you shut it off. It had Thermostat retrictor, electric fan and water pump, I install 195 thermostat, stock water pump, 6 blade fan, and made my own fan shroud, it run 195 and will go up to 210 at lights. I don't consider 210 to hot in our Tucson, AZ summer heat.
