Wilf is right on.

For those people with heating problems while moving, a common malady is not sealing the radiator around the edges. Air (like many people) will take the path of least resistance. If the radiator is angled back at the top, the air would rather move over the top of the radiator, rather than through the fins.

I have a 428 in southern California and it stays 170-190 under all circumstances. I was driving in the San Fernando valley yesterday in 90-degree heat and the car stayed cooler than I did.
I have a shrouded puller - the biggest one SPAL makes.

Stay Cool!
