The 180 degree thermostat is a must make sure all the air that flows through the nose has to flow through the radiator. Look at a Cobra that has the engine oil cooler with that baffling all air has to go through the rad.
Getting all the air purged out is also a must, I added a brass purge valve to the thermostat neck. My car runs approx. 190 degrees all the time in all situations. Stop and go traffic it will sneak up slightly. Finally are you certain your radiator has the capacity to cool the 460?
