I have the same engine as you (408 stroker) and about same HP #'s (500). I have the exact same problem with heating up under the same conditions as you. Especially where I live in FL, it not only gets hot this time of year, we have lots of stop and go traffic.

I installed a fan override switch myself. It is easy to do and you can get the schematic faxed to you from Mark at Dynamic. It is about a 1/2 hour job. I leave my fans on all the time in traffic and it keeps it between 90-100. When cruising, I leave the switch off.
Only problem is with my fans on my blinkers don't work due to draw on alternator. I need an alternator that puts out a little more juice, especially at idle.

Good luck,
Rick
